self signed certificate error

• Target: Windows NSIS

I'm using local https server with self-signed certificate for auto-update tests. I installed my certificate to os, but I'm receiving error 'self signed certificate' when auto-updater requests for update.

We don't yet use our own implementation for macOS. You can or file issue to https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac or, and I recommend it, consider to use https://github.com/megahertz/electron-simple-updater (for macOS only). electron-simple-updater will be soon merged into electron-builder.

macOS? No, I'm using Windows.

In this case please specify full error message including stack trace.

"Error: self signed certificate" - this is full error from this code

autoUpdater.on('error', (error) => {
    dialog.showMessageBox({
        message: "error " + error,
        buttons: ['ok'],
        type: 'info'
    });
});

Still getting this error. Here's code

Solved by adding process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0"; before update.checkUpdate();

Please note — since 0.8 electron http API is used. Probably process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED workaround is outdated.
