What happened?

always something wrong with this log, but this custom service can work on other plugin.

Steps to reproduce

CodeGPT version

2.6.2-222

Operating System

Windows

Did you enable proxy settings? Could it be that your IntelliJ is very old? Maybe you could try it with the current 2024.1 first?

Otherwise, can you try downloading the certificate (for example with Firefox / Tools / Page Info) and add it to IntelliJ Settings / Tools / Server Certificates? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74356366/intellij-ide-giving-pkix-path-building-failed-sun-security-provider-certpath-su#answer-76222569

I upgrade the IntelliJ version to 2024.1, but but the issue is still happening.

I'm not sure which certificate to download. I've tried several possible certificates, but they all fail.

[reneleonhardt]

Does someone have Windows to reproduce this? 😅 CodeGPT 2.6.3 looks a bit different, but there is a valid response with and without API Key.

If you want to try you could download an Ubuntu Linux image 🙂 https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_7_0 https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/

I am facing same issue, is there anyway we can disable cert validation?

[olegatord]

I've add certificate to IntelliJ Settings / Tools / Server Certificates but anyway have the same issue.

[banalg]

Hello, same issue on my side. I use a self signed certificate for testing purposes, and didn't succeed to bypass the certificate validation.

I tried two solutions without success :

• add the certificate in Intellij (File -> Tools -> Server Certificates)
• add the certificate in the JRE keystore (%JAVA_HOME%/bin/keytool -importcert -file certificate.cer -keystore keystore.jks -alias "Alias")

Hi, did anyone found a way around this issue? Adding the certificate in IntelliJ (or the JVM) and accepting non-trusted certificates didn't help either. In my corporate setting, we are behind ZScaler, and although adding its certificate in other tools works, even in Intellij, oddly for this plugin it doesn't… 🤔

[voku]

I have the same issue, does anyone have a workaround for this issue?

[carlrobertoh]

Unfortunately, I have no easy way of reproducing it myself. Some people have noted that adding the certificate to their JRE has worked, while others say it hasn't.

As far as I know, the certificate is obtained from the bundled JetBrains JRE, and e.g. for macOS, it would be here: /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/lib/security. However, for Toolbox users, I believe the JRE is in a different location.

EDIT: Or there might be even a chance that you've reconfigured the IDE boot runtime.

[cebbec]

I thought I had imported the certificate in the right JRE, but I looked into the Toolbox installation directory as you suggested and found the right path, which was for me on Windows : C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Programs\IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate\jbr\lib\security Thanks @carlrobertoh, I'm going to enjoy using CodeGPT at work too.

[carlrobertoh]

Glad it helped! I need to document this issue better.

[voku]

@cebbec How did you import the additional certificates into the new directory?

[cebbec]

I used this command : keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias zscaler -file "C:\Users\…\Zscaler Root CA.crt" -keystore C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Programs\IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate\jbr\lib\security\cacerts It isn't a directory, but a keystore, the one used by the JVM running Intellij.
