Ruby Gem Twitter - certificate verify failed (Twitter::Error::ClientError)

问题

I am trying to use the ruby gem 'twitter' but for unknown reasons I cant get it to work.

Here is the .rb code:

require 'twitter'

puts "Greetings, World!"
puts "Checkpoint 1"
Twitter.configure do |config|
  config.consumer_key = "xxxxxxx" #removed for posting
  config.consumer_secret = "xxxxxxx" #removed for posting
  config.oauth_token = "xxxxxxx" #removed for posting
  config.oauth_token_secret = "xxxxxxx" #removed for posting
end
Twitter.verify_credentials
puts "Checkpoint 2"

and I get the following error:

Greetings, World!
Checkpoint 1

I am a ruby newbie and I cant make sense of the client error... perhaps I am missing something. I have also confirmed my Oauth credentials are working in python.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your help.

回答1:

I was able to solve my own question. For those having the same issue try using the following:

OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

It disables the SSL security but it allows you to process with troubleshooting. The underlying issue is an outdated SSL.

回答2:

I'm very new to ruby as well but are you using a Mac? It may be because of outdated SSL certificate files. Here's a link to instructions that solved the problem for me. http://railsapps.github.io/openssl-certificate-verify-failed.html
