Describe the Bug

I am unable to initialize a new project with astro-create due to it not following the system proxy settings or respecting the proxy environment variables I have in place.

The following variables are set:

HTTP_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY
http_proxy
https_proxy
ALL_PROXY
all_proxy

$ create-astro

Eager to help understand what's wrong, unfortunately I can't create a minimal example due to it being isolated to the corporate network I'm currently on. Sorry!

How else can I test or provide more info?

Thanks for reporting @yonkeltron! Dang, this is indeed a tricky one to replicate. I'll say we use giget under-the-hood to fetch project templates, so that project would likely need tweaks to respect environment variables for network proxies. May be worth:

• writing a small-scale script that uses giget's JS API to replicate
• if it still fails, file an issue on their repo with that minimal reproduction

Hope that helps!

There's actually an upstream issue for this feature, as well as a PR!

unjs/giget#23 and unjs/giget#24

[danielroe]

This has been merged and released in giget@1.0.0.

[yonkeltron]

This has been merged and released in giget@1.0.0.

Super exciting! Let me know when I can give create-astro a test run!

[yonkeltron]

Hey just wanted to let you know that create-astro 1.2.4 still doesn't respect the proxy variables. Did I do something wrong?

I can confirm this issue still exists on the latest version (2.5.7 as of this post). This issue should be re-opened.

[calebdwilliams]

Specifically this is failing with create-astro@3.1.5

[yonkeltron]

Can confirm this is still an issue with create-astro@3.1.6:

$ create-astro

I can confirm this is still an issue with create-astsro@4.3.2

npm create astro@latest -- --template starlight
