Creates blank cert file

[brandonkal]

I am using devcert-cli to generate certificates. I noticed that the certutil was not functioning correctly so I tried manually installing nss and messing with flags. It was not editing the hosts file either but I tried doing the following:

devcert disable domain.test
rm domain.test*
devcert generate domain.test

The command failed. Any devcert generate domain.test after that creates an empty domain.test.cert file and a good domain.test.key file.

Here is the error output. It is difficult to reproduce:

Error: Command failed: openssl ca -config "/var/folders/nv/4dq8b8zd25j3sbx57nnwf8s40000gn/T/tmp-49642L24yawif0Cw.tmp" -in "/Users/brandonkal/Library/Application Support/
