unable to verify the first certificate

[sanphandinh]

When I run getstorybook command in create-react-app project. It can't work and show message:
"Adding storybook support to your "Create React App" based project(node:9436) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): RequestError: un
able to verify the first certificate"

can you post the full error log?

It sounds like there might be a certificate issue with npm install. You might be using an internal npm server or perhaps behind a corporate firewall that messes with npm downloads?

I have the same issue, and I'm behind a corporate firewall. npm install works correctly (I have used npm config set proxy )

$ getstorybook

I've been trying to work around this. I'm on node v8.6.0. It seems like the problem is when latest-version tries tries to require packages in storybook's generators. I added a catch block to latest-version's index.js file where storybook was installed globally.

<npm-global-dir>/lib/node_modules/@storybook/cli/node_modules/latest-version/index.js

• module.exports = name => packageJson(name.toLowerCase()).then(data => data.version).catch(e => console.log(e));

This allowed allowed the getstorybook command to complete and 'yarn run storybook' loads the page. Not sure if anything would be broken since I've never used storybook before.

So a workaround to run the command would be either adding that catch block or running the following as a replacement to getstorybook:
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 node <npm-global-dir>/lib/node_modules/@storybook/cli/bin/generate.js

Although, using the cafile I use for npm would be ideal.

I added the solution @alexlurvey created and was able to run storybook!
