validateStatus doesn't work with auth

Following is my code

try {
        const resToken = await axios({
            method: 'post',
            url: api.loginToken(),
            validateStatus: function(status) {
                return status < 500;
            },
            auth: {
                username: option.username,
                password: option.password
            }
        });
    } catch (error) {
        // some code here
    }

Even though the validateStatus is set to < 500, the following exception is called:

POST http://localhost:8000/api/login/token 404 (Not Found)

Can you help me please? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Oh sorry, I read your post too fast. It still seems to work with auth though.

I get an error logged to the console but my code never goes to the catch part because of the validateStatus

@Axnyff Yes, it works. You need to use auth option as you mentioned.
