Description

After the recent Bower certificate renewal, Tez build in certain environments is failing because of

[INFO] bower more-js#0.8.8 CERT_HAS_EXPIRED Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/more-js failed: certificate has expired

To fix, we can use one of the two approaches -> 

 

Approach 1 :

We should update the bower registry to a new one which does not lead to this issue. 

 

The build is passing after using the new registry as well.

Disadvantage : 

This bower registry was deprecated as per the following sources.

We may face issues in connecting to this URL in future.

============

Approach 2 : 

A workaround is to disable strict-ssl in bowerrc . We need to disable it for .yarnrc as well, otherwise the build was leading to a different error :
******************
error An unexpected error occurred: "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/boom/-/boom-7.3.0.tgz: unable to get local issuer certificate".
******************

 

Disadvantage : 

Might not be recommended to disable SSL ?
