networkError method should define a request attribute in mocked error response

When calling networkError, the error returned by the lib should define a request attribute. This is how axios works. It’s important because error handling rely on the error.response check. Such as:

.catch((error) => {
        // Error
        if (error.response) {
            // The request was made and the server responded with a status code
            // that falls out of the range of 2xx
            // console.log(error.response.data);
            // console.log(error.response.status);
            // console.log(error.response.headers);
        } else if (error.request) {   //    <--------- THIS CHECK
            // The request was made but no response was received
            // `error.request` is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance of
            // http.ClientRequest in node.js
            console.log(error.request);
        } else {
            // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error
            console.log('Error', error.message);
        }
        console.log(error.config);
    });

I’ve managed to workaround this by replying [0,‘Network Error’]. But, I guess it’s not the ideal solution.

@dreyks What I do is normalize error object to always have a statusCode attribute as a root property. it first tries to take the status from the response, then checks for request and finally defaults to some code. This way, even if it has a response with a status of “0” (zero). That code will be defined. I currently have this (in typescript):

interface RequestError extends AxiosError {
  status: number;
  data?: object;
}

function normalizeRequestError(error: AxiosError): RequestError {
  const {response, request} = error;
  if (response) {
    /*
     * The request was made and the server responded with a
     * status code that falls out of the range of 2xx
     */
    const {data, status: responseStatus} = response;
    return {
      ...error,
      status: responseStatus, // <- This would be zero in the mock returning [0, 'Network Error']
      data,
    };
  } else if (request) {
    /*
     * The request was made but no response was received, `error.request`
     * is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance
     * of http.ClientRequest in Node.js
     */
    return {
      ...error,
      status: 0, //<- also set to zero in actual code
    };
  } else {
    //* Something happened in setting up the request and triggered an Error
    return {
      ...error,
      status: -1,
    };
  }
}

Would like to know if there is any progress on this?
