Jekyll won't build when trying to use the plugin

[GiraffeCoding]

Hi, After successful installing the plugin it seems every time i actually try and use the plugin i get the following error:

Liquid Exception: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify

Any ideas why this would be the case?

Please could you let me know what version of Ruby and OpenSSL (& how its installed - rbenv, rvm)?

This is usually an issue with OpenSSL lacking root certs and so it does not trust the Twitter SSL certificate - assuming they are presenting a valid cert and there is no man in the middle attack going on 😄

What is the output from these commands?

ruby -rnet/https -e "Net::HTTP.get URI('https://google.com')"

ruby -ropenssl -e "puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION"
ruby -ropenssl -e "puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL_LIBRARY_VERSION"

Can you try updating Ruby's OpenSSL library CA cert by something like this:

curl -fsSL curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem \ -o "$(ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE')"

This just downloads the file https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem to wherever OpenSSL stores its cert file.

I'm not on Windows so I dont have any way to test this though.

Apologies i had a typo in the system environment variable. Apologies again
