Description

In our organisation we use proxy to get to internet.

When run cdktf get exception is thrown:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com

So I have to go to sources and add proxy to checkpoint.js request to get typescript files for azure provider.

If would be great if cli would respect HTTPS_PROXY environment variable

Thanks for reporting this issue, I believe that's a regression of #326 - Networking issues shouldn't interrupt the workflow here.

In the meantime, you can disable the metrics via the CHECKPOINT_DISABLE env.

Thanks @skorfmann that works for me

The command "CHECKPOINT_DISABLE=true cdktf get" worked for me.

Thanks!

i just ran into this problem also, wondering if we can add the env to cdktf.json as context or something so that we can consistently disable it for the project ?

Not currently, but that sounds like a reasonable request.

As mentioned in #545 we should just catch the error and ignore it.
