Known issues

Dev certificate issue with Chrome (v58-)

  • Date - April 28, 2017
  • Updated - May 2, 2017

If you are using Chrome as your development browser, you might have challenges with the developer certificate regardless of executing the gulp trust-dev-cert command. Chrome has changed its model for certificate validation starting from version 58, and you might see a "Your connection is not private" warning when you are accessing the local workbench.

You should update your Yeoman template packages. We have updated certification creation logic in the @microsoft/gulp-core-build-serve package.

In existing solutions, you can simply delete this folder and run npm install to get the updated package. You also need to execute untrust-dev-cert and trust-dev-cert commands on your machine to address the certification creation logic issue.
