CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED running wlc

[sschimmel]

Describe the issue

When running wlc I get an SSL error stating the certificate verification failed.

My Weblate installation is running on a server with a valid ssl certificate. Accessing the API using e.g. Chrome or Postman works.

I've installed certifi and ran the Install\ Certificates.command I've found while searching for a solution. The error when running wlc remains.

Running the WLC docker image results in the same error.

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run wlc list-projects

Giving your error to Google gives me this:

“Unable to get Local Issuer Certificate” is a common SSL certificate error. It is related to the incomplete certificate chain such as (most commonly) missing the intermediate certificate or missing the root certificate authority (CA) certificate in its trusted certificate store.

Is your webserver configured correctly to serve intermediate certificate as well? The browser might already have it from elsewhere, but it won't apply to command line tools like wlc.
