Bundled CA certs

Hex bundles a list of root CA certificates used for certificate validation in HTTPS. The certificates are fetched from certdata.txt on the master branch of NSS, where Mozilla's root store changes land first, with curl's mk-ca-bundle.pl script. The bundle created from the Perl script is stored in lib/hex/http/ca-bundle.crt and is included in source control, the file should be updated when Mozilla changes its root store. When Hex is compiled the certificates are parsed and included with the compiled artifacts. The task mix certdata automates this process.

hexpm

Integration tests run against the API server hexpm. It needs to be cloned into ../hexpm or HEXPM_PATH needs to be set and point its location. hexpm also requires postgresql with username postgres and password postgres.

Exclude integration tests with mix test --exclude integration.
