Node.js 9.0 does not appear to work

#### Summary

Not sure if this is due to Node 9.0 but axios definitely does not work on it.

 {
   "url": "<path>",
   "method": "POST",
   "baseURL": "<url>",
   "timeout": 15000,
   "headers": {
     "Header-Name": "Header-Value"
   },
   "data": {
     "some": "data"
   }
 }

#### Context

• axios version: 0.17.0
• Environment: 9.0 OSX

Ok – cryptic error that didnt actualy say a header was undefined. I had lookeda t the values and they were all there but it was due to another issue occurring elsewhere.

Might be good to wrap this and provide a real error 😛

I was getting the same The "value" argument must be specified error using Node 9.5.0 and Axios 0.18.0.

My problem was similar to @adibkadir, I wasn’t specifiying some required config parameters, apparently. Which is weird, considering my server was working just fine when deployed locally and to Heroku, but suddenly started bugging out when I migrated to Google Cloud Functions. At any rate, in case anyone finds it useful here is my before after:

Before:

const config = {
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
    app_id: process.env.OXFORD_ID,
    app_key: process.env.OXFORD_KEY,
  },
}

app.get('/api/oxford/inflect/:word', (req, res) => {
  axios
    .get(`${oxfordInflect}/${req.params.word}`, config)
    .then(response => {
      res.json(response.data)
    })
    .catch(err => {
      handleError(err, res)
    })
})

After:

function getConfigObj(type: string, word: string): ConfigObject {
  console.log(host)
  console.log('word', word)

  return {
    method: 'GET',
    url: host + type + word,
    headers: {
      Accept: 'application/json',
      app_id: process.env.OXFORD_ID,
      app_key: process.env.OXFORD_KEY,
    },
  }
}

app.get('/api/oxford/inflection/:word', (req, res) => {

  const type = '/inflections/en/'

  axios(getConfigObj(type, req.params.word))
    .then(response => res.json(response.data))
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log(error)
    })
})
