Environment Variables

Required for AFIP authentication (WS-AAA):

• ARCA_WSAA_CERT: Certificate file (default: ghf.crt)

• ARCA_WSAA_PRIVATE_KEY: Private key file (default: ghf.key)

• ARCA_WSAA_PASSWORD: Private key password (default: empty)

• ARCA_TEST_MODE: Set to false for production; any other value (or unset) uses homologation

• ARCA_FETCH_LIMIT: SOAP retry attempts (default: 3)

Certificate and key files are expected in the current directory (or currentDir tool parameter).

Important Notes

• CUIT format: All tools require CUIT in XX-XXXXXXXX-X format (validated via Zod)

• WSDL caching: WSDL files are downloaded to ./{service}_{env}.wsdl (e.g., wsfe_test.wsdl) and reused for 1 year

• OpenSSL required: The signTra function uses openssl cms for signing; ensure OpenSSL is installed and in PATH

• SOAP services: Communicates with AFIP's WS-FE (electronic invoicing) and WSAA (authentication) services

• Temp files: Creates TRA_*.xml and TA_*.xml files in the directory specified by currentDir (default: ./)

• TypeScript: Strict type checking enabled; moduleResolution: bundler (Bun-specific)
