Build fails when behind proxy / VPN / China GFW

BirkhoffLee commented 6 years ago

Description

I have absolutely no idea why is this happening. The only special thing to me is that I'm behind China's great firewall (GFW), but I don't think that can interfere local connections. Any thoughts?

@BirkhoffLee eeeeeh I don't know. It would be great for nativefier to support spitting finer logging when an environment variable is set. Without that it's difficult to troubleshoot.

In your case, I don't understand who makes a request to localhost (127.0.0.1) on HTTPS (port 443), and why. Does your machine run some kind of proxy / antivirus / traffic sniffing&redirecting software?

I am able to reproduce this result, which occurs only when I am running my connection through a VPN. This is my terminal output when I try to create an Asana app:

The process just hangs there.

When I de-activate the VPN, I am able to complete the app creation without a problem.

Ha, thanks for the pointer, @qaid 👍👍👍! Not sure which part of Nativefier is confused by the VPN though oÔ, more digging from your side very welcome.

BirkhoffLee commented 6 years ago

Yes, my machine runs a proxy that bypasses the GFW. I turned it off and Nativefier still connects to 127.0.0.1:443. It's a SOCKS5 proxy that listens on 127.0.0.1:1080.

Sorry I didn't see @qaid's comment. I'll try to find out more information and possible reason and see what I can help here.

BirkhoffLee commented 6 years ago

So I figured out by resetting env variable ALL_PROXY. Nativefier won't connect to 127.0.0.1 anymore.

ronjouch commented 6 years ago

@BirkhoffLee thanks for the followup 👍.

So I figured out by resetting env variable ALL_PROXY

Just to clarify: you mean ALL_PROXY= nativefier ..., correct?

Nativefier won't connect to 127.0.0.1 anymore.

Awesome. Out of curiosity, any idea which part of our stack reacts to this variable?

@qaid does ALL_PROXY have an effect on your failure?

BirkhoffLee commented 6 years ago

@ronjouch Yes, I ran ALL_PROXY= nativefier .... I just tried it again and it doesn't work now. Here's a video: https://asciinema.org/a/XCTmfoItFn2cZVrRMuN50ry68.

I have confirmed that the system proxy is empty, no idea why.
