I’m following the tutorial at: https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/test-the-apis.html

I’m using node v8.9.4 and the latest packages as of 2/12/2018

I get this error:

I encountered a similar issue in another script I was building using amazon-cognito-identity-js library v2.0.0 on node v6.10.3 I was able to fix it by adding node-fetch npm to the project and setting a global for it. global.fetch = require(‘node-fetch’);

This was in a different project/library if it was added to the index of this project it should be a suitable replacement for the WindowMock library. I have not encountered the issue with this module so I have not tried swapping them out.
