mix deps.get fails, {:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}

Question

I'm trying to fetch dependencies for my elixir project. I can't tell if Hex is down or not (I was able to fetch just fine this morning). When I run

$ mix deps.get

I see this:

    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/phoenix_live_reload' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/phoenix_ecto' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/phoenix' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/phoenix_pubsub' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/postgrex' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/ex_machina' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}
    Failed to fetch record for 'hexpm/jason' from registry (using cache)
{:failed_connect, [{:to_address, {'repo.hex.pm', 443}}, {:inet, [:inet], {:option, :server_only, :honor_cipher_order}}]}

And so on for every dependency. What does :no_honor_cipher mean? Am I doing something wrong or is Hex down?

Answer 1

I faced the same error, for me the suggestion from @legoscia worked: update Hex with mix local.hex

Answer 2

This looks like it's a bug in Hackney, that has been fixed in master, on Erlang 22.1, and in Hex shows up from version pinning problems... I'd make sure your mix.exs file has the correct ( newest ) versions of the dependencies it needs (like LiveView) or downgrade to a version of Erlang not 22.1 until your dependencies are updated.

This looks to be the root of the issue:
