Ruby SSL Error working with Evernote API (Mac, El Capitan)

Question

Trying to get the basic ruby Evernote client app working.

I got my developer token and followed the readme in the sample app.

1. Open sample/client/EDAMTest.rb
2. Scroll down and fill in your Evernote developer token.

3. On the command line, run the following command to execute the script:

   ruby EDAMTest.rb

Simple. But I'm getting this SSL Error.

/Users/james/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3/lib/ruby/2.2.0/net/http.rb:923:in `connect': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)

Tried a few things with brew and rvm.

$ rvm osx-ssl-certs status all                
> Certificates for /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem: Up to date.
> Certificates for /etc/openssl/cert.pem: Up to date.

Full trace.

Answer 1

I ended up patching it by turning off verification.

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

Still open to any better ideas.
