How to fix nix "Problem with the SSL CA cert" on macOS
·
[Jack Shih]
When using nix operations inside emacs sometime it will show this warning during install packages.
warning: error: unable to download '{SOME_URL}': Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (77); using cached version
This warning occur because emacs gui on macOS use system defaut environment variable instead of shell environment variable. Most people on macOS use exec-path-from-shell
to fix the path problem. Luckly exec-path-from-shell
provide a variable call exec-path-from-shell-variables
to import any other environment variables other than PATH
.
So we can import NIX_PROFILES
and NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE
like below to solve the issue.
(use-package exec-path-from-shell
:ensure t
:config
(dolist (var '("LC_CTYPE" "NIX_PROFILES" "NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE"))
(add-to-list 'exec-path-from-shell-variables var))
(when (memq window-system '(mac ns x))
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)))
