SSL cert verification error trying to download helm about gofish

[bacongobbler]

Here is where Gofish pulls down the package. It's using Go's default HTTP client, so there's no specific setup involved on Gofish's end regarding TLS. I would refer to net/http for assistance.

gofish/food.go

Lines 331 to 334 in 235b7ac

	// downloadCachedFileToPath will download a file from the given url to a directory, returning the
	// path to the cached file. If it already exists, it'll skip downloading the file and just return
	// the path to the cached file.
	func downloadCachedFileToPath(filePath string, url string) error {

It is also possible that the latest release of gofish is compiled against a very old version of Go. We’re due for an update. I’ll schedule a release for tomorrow and ping you when it’s available. :)

Should be fixed with 313faec. Just waiting on Github Actions to restore so I can cut a release. Thanks for the report!

Hey! The only case I've seen this crop up before was in Helm, of all places. It has something to do with macOS and Go's crypto/tls package.

helm/helm#3384

I have not seen this issue with gofish, but that would be my first guess.

How did you install gofish? Were you compiling from source or were you following the Install Guide?

I followed the install instructions a couple of days ago, downloading the binaries with the curl|bash install method, when I realized I could use gofish to install flux (which worked great, btw!)

I see you've already supported this for a long time. Thanks for the pointers. Will update again soon with the root cause.

[kingdonb]

This will work!

I went ahead and compiled my own copy of gofish with a relatively recent go 1.16, and it indeed resolves the issue.

$ gofish install helm
