SSL Error with NodeJs remote build and npm install

[artraxus]

Hello and thanks for iron.io.

When I use the build command "npm install" in my .worker file to package dependencies remotely through uploaded package.json. I get this error:

I'm having the exact same issue. Completely blocking my team.

There is a temporary fix for this

add the following to your .worker file. build "npm config set strict-ssl false; npm install --production"

alternatively you can add the modules directory and the package.json and upload the modules locally instead of building remotely
