如何在节点JS服务器中包含根CA证书？

Question

I'm using npm v 5.7.1 on Mac High Sierra. I just installed this module

npm install ssl-root-cas

(for some reason, adding "-g" didn't work). Then i have this in my JS file

require('ssl-root-cas')
    .inject()
    .addFile(fs.readFileSync(conf.root_cert));

However, upon executing the above code (specifically the "inject()" line), I get the error

/Users/satishp/Documents/workspace/projA/node_modules/ssl-root-cas/ssl-root-cas.js:3637
  var filepaths = filepath.split(/\//g);
                           ^

TypeError: filepath.split is not a function
    at Array.module.exports.rootCas.addFile (/Users/satishp/Documents/workspace/projA/node_modules/ssl-root-cas/ssl-root-cas.js:3637:28)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/satishp/Documents/workspace/projA/server.js:79:3)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:703:10)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:193:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:660:3

I'm somewhat confused about how to proceed. How do I overcome this error?

You just need to pass the file path for the addFile function, no need to manually load the file content:

require('ssl-root-cas')
  .inject()
  .addFile(conf.root_cert);
