How lauch Cypress on app using certificate?

[perceboisElisa]

Hi,

I would like to run my app with Cypress. However, we use certificates which need to be validate by the user before running your app. Which file must be configure in Cypress?

Regards,
Elisa

I am having this similar issue.
And can't find a solution to previous issues.
Can we open this again?

Here are my details
The page I am testing uses a certificate. If I open the page on the regular Chrome the page loads with no problem. But when I launch Cypress I get a "The connection is not secure" along with a 401 error (I am not sure if these are related).

Update:
When I compare both certificates, the one in Cypress says the certificate is

Issued by: CypressProxyCA

which is not the real case.
How can I fix that and use the ones in MY chrome?

Thank you!

@lcastanedaCV we tell the browser to ignore security errors so I'm not sure how you could be getting this unless you're modifying the arguments in which we launch chrome or you're doing something out of the ordinary.

Cypress must sit between your browser and the webserver and it will not work unless its making the connections, so the answer is you can't - but there's not any reason to need to do so.

The certificates don't affect the browser's actual behavior.

Are you trying to load an ip address by chance? If so if you set an alias in your /etc/hosts file and visit that, you won't see that message. I think that's the only scenario in which we've seen that message happen.

What site are you trying to visit? Have you tried visiting it in Electron?

Hi @brian-mann,
Thank you for your help.
/etc/hosts solved the problem
Cheers!

Hi @brian-mann and @lcastanedaCV
I'm running into the same issue... what are the things I need to fix in my /etc/hosts?
Thank you very much
