Hang on network error

[broom9]

With the following codes, if the network address is unreachable (e.g. when accidentally set as undefined or some other network issues), the script hangs without throwing errors.

const axios = require('axios');
const axiosRetry = require('axios-retry');

axiosRetry(axios, {
  retries: 3,
  retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay,
  retryCondition: error => axiosRetry.isNetworkOrIdempotentRequestError(error)
    || (error.response && error.response.status === 429),
});


axios.get('undefined/v1').then(() => {
  console.info('Successful');
}).catch((e) => {
  console.error(e);
});

axios-retry: 3.1.2
axios: 0.19.0

We're facing the same problem. It never throws an error, just hangs

With the feedback logic from #35 you can see that the retries variable seems to be ignored, and it will just perpetually retry!

Since version 0.19.0 axios filter out custom properties in config , see axios/axios#164 (comment)

It means that axios-retry can't store retry number and will try retry infinite.

Workaround for this issue - downgrade to axios ^0.18.0
