nock: nock.recorder don't log redirection (302) with axios

What is the expected behavior? nock seems to record 302 redirections ( I’ve seen an unit test with super agent, working )

What is the actual behavior? nock doesn’t record the redirection when called by axios (only the first call recorded)

Possible solution

How to reproduce the issue Here is a test I wrote in test_recorder.js :

const axios = require('axios')

test('test 302 on axios', t => {
  const exampleText = '<html><body>example</body></html>'

  const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
    switch (require('url').parse(request.url).pathname) {
      case '/':
        response.writeHead(302, { Location: '/abc' })
        break
      case '/abc':
        response.write(exampleText)
        break
    }
    response.end()
  })
  t.once('end', () => server.close())

  nock.restore()
  nock.recorder.clear()
  t.equal(nock.recorder.play().length, 0)

  nock.recorder.rec({
    dont_print: true,
    output_objects: true,
  })

  server.listen(async () => {
    let resp, resp2

    try {
      resp = await axios.get(`http://localhost:${server.address().port}`)
    } catch (e) {
      t.ok(false)
    }

    t.ok(resp)
    t.ok(resp.headers)
    t.strictEqual(resp.data, exampleText)

    nock.restore()
    const recorded = nock.recorder.play()
    nock.recorder.clear()
    nock.activate()

    t.equal(recorded.length, 2)
    const nocks = nock.define(recorded)

    try {
      resp2 = axios.get(
        `http://localhost:${server.address().port}`,
      )

      t.strictEqual(resp2.text, exampleText)
      nocks.forEach(nock => nock.done())

      t.end()
    } catch (e) {
      t.ok(false)
    }
  })
})

Does the bug have a test case? not for the moment

We just ran into this as well (moving from the deprecated request library to axios). So would very much appreciate if this old ticket could be picked up again! Cheers

I didn’t dig into this, but I was curios if this was still an issue. I can confirm on Node 14.2, Nock 13.0, and Axios 0.19.2, this is still not working 😢
