Getting SSL / https working locally for Rails with puma-dev

Question

puma-dev should work with https / SSL with just the initial install puma-dev -install when you visit https://yourlocalsitename.dev.

I can see the certificate in Chrome > Dev Tools > Security but it says

This page is not secure (broken HTTPS).

Certificate Error
There are issues with the site's certificate chain (net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID).

How can I get puma-dev working in https locally?

Answer 1

If the normal puma-dev -install doesn't work even after brew uninstall/install of puma-dev try this recommended here

1. In Chrome > Developer Tools > Security click View Certificate
2. Drag the icon for the certificate to your OS X desktop
3. From your desktop, double click on the cert to install it in your OS X > Keychain Access as System (not login)
4. From Keychain Access, double click on the cert (in System) and change the dropdown to Always Trust

Now try visiting https://yourlocalsitename.dev again, but in a new tab, and it should be green for https.
