Hi,
I have to build an app also on windows, since some time, I do not know it exactly, I ran into the the issue below during download of binaries (precompiled NIFs, esbuild, tailwindcss, etc). I do not have the issue while downloading dependencies from hex.
I’ve also copied the ca certificates (from a linux instance) into a directory and configured hex (cacert_path) to use that directory, but this doesn’t help. It seems that the erlang runtime isn’t able to get the systems CA store (I’m not a windows specialist). My question, is there a environment variable to point the erlang runtime to a CA path, or any other way to fix this issue ? BTW, the error from below is while accessing github.
Versions, Windows 11, Erlang/OTP 28.1.1, Elixir 1.19.3
TLS :client: In state :wait_cert_cr at ssl_handshake.erl:2175 generated CLIENT ALERT: Fatal - Unknown CA
any suggestions ?

setting the HEX_CACERTS_PATH to a downloaded CA bundle did the trick, what’s a littlebit courious is that setting the cacerts path with
mix hex.config cacerts_path <path_to_bundle>did not work
