Dealing with a lhci server behind proxy (create new projet)

[rdelgatte]

I've just set up a lhci-server following the documentation and I am trying to create a new project using lhci wizard locally.

The server is both reachable in my browser and a curl (after setting up my proxy: HTTPS_PROXY env variable) but I've got a TIMEOUT when trying to create a new project.

➜  curl https://my-lhci-server/version
0.7.0%       

But when I go through the lhci wizard:

➜  lhci wizard
? Which wizard do you want to run? new-project
? What is the URL of your LHCI server? https://my-lhci-server
? What would you like to name the project? my-project
? Where is the project's code hosted? https://github.com/whatever
? What branch is considered the repo's trunk or main branch? master
FetchError: request to https://my-lhci-server/v1/projects failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 35.204.214.248:443
    at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@lhci/cli/node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1461:11)
    at ClientRequest.emit (node:events:376:20)
    at TLSSocket.socketErrorListener (node:_http_client:486:9)

    at emitErrorCloseNT (node:internal/streams/destroy:153:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:80:21)%       

If I try to curl over the projects HTTP endpoint, it works:

➜  curl https://my-lhci-server/v1/projects
[]%  

I guess it is related to the proxy configuration which isn't used by lhci when creating the project (but also when running) so I may be blocked because of it.
Is there any way to provide a proxy url to lhci so it go through it to do any request?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thanks for filing @rdelgatte! Proxy support is not great in node and most node http libraries. We would need to thread this through ourselves (see node-fetch/node-fetch#195) to support this.

As a workaround you'd need to run lhci wizard on the server itself (or somewhere you don't need proxy connections) or painfully reproduce the API calls via CURL/Postman.

I replaced the dependency on isomorphic-fetch with https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch-with-proxy to get proxy support for the cli.
