Requests are immediately canceled when ran in Electron

Hello,

Axios cancels all subsequent requests after calling the initial requests during ComponentWillMount() phase of the ReactJS life cycle.

Afterwards, the requests are immediately canceled. Doesn’t matter what phase of the ReactJS lifecycle they are called.

This only occurs when running on Electron. This problem does not persist on browser. I suspect the issue is caused by this:

    if (typeof XMLHttpRequest !== 'undefined') {
         // For browsers use XHR adapter
     axios.defaults.adapter = xhrAdapter
 } else if (typeof process !== 'undefined') {
     // For node use HTTP adapter
     axios.defaults.adapter = httpAdapter;
}

As the browser is correctly using the xhrAdapter and Electron is not using the httpAdapter. I came across a similar issue that was closed, and after following the solution, I was able to get the request to send for approx. <15 seconds before the requests started to immediately cancel again.

• axios version: “0.16.2”,
• Environment: Node v6.11.3 Chrome 61, Windows 10*
• Network output from Developer Console

Also got trouble using Axios 0.19.0 in Electron 6.1.4 + Node 10.16.3.

I didn’t investigate it fully, but around 30-50% of the requests got “lost” and never returned a response.

This fixed it for me (in the frontend/Vue.js code of the Electron app):

const axios = require('axios');
axios.defaults.adapter = require('axios/lib/adapters/xhr');
