The provided value 'stream' is not a valid enum value of type XMLHttpRequestResponseType

[ghost]

Summary

I literally copied and pasted the "stream" example and I get the following error:

// GET request for remote image
axios({
  method:'get',
  url:'http://bit.ly/2mTM3nY',
  responseType:'stream'
})
  .then(function(response) {
  response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('ada_lovelace.jpg'))
});

Context

• axios version: v0.17.1
• Environment: node v8.2.1, Electron 1.8.4

I'm getting this exact problem.

@nbcnc I figured it out, your making an electron app like me. seems you can only get the response.data as a stream in the main thread. What I did to fix this was add

ipcRenderer.send("download"); // in render thread

then in the main thread

app.on("ready", async () => {

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    show: false,
    width: 1024,
    height: 728
  });
 mainWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/app.html`);

 ipcMain.on("download", (event, arg) => {
   // axios download code here
 });

good luck

I'm getting the same error, I'm using it in a rect-native application.

Getting this in the browser, compiled using CRA (webpack)

I am getting this in simple node app

[gcox]

@bintoll Are you using jest? If so, that's probably the issue...see this comment: #1418 (comment)

For electron users, try this from the render process:

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

This forces axios to use the node adapter. See #552

I'm getting this error in web using Vue.

The provided value 'stream' is not a valid enum value of type XMLHttpRequestResponseType.

axios.request({
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://apilink/endpoint',
data: form,
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
responseType: 'stream', // HERE
})
.then(response => {
console.log('LOGIN response', response);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log('LOGIN error', error);
});

• Axios version in package.json: "axios": "^0.19.0";
• Vue version in package.json: "vue": "^2.6.10";

Got same error in React App
Axios version : 0.19.0

For React , try using this in https://github.com/axios/axios#request-config

  // `onDownloadProgress` allows handling of progress events for downloads
  onDownloadProgress: function (progressEvent) {
    // Do whatever you want with the native progress event
  },

check for the data in progressEvent.currentTarget.response

This issue is still happening, is there any other way to get streams through axios?

[chinesedfan]

As far as I know, responseType=stream is not supported in the xhr adapter, including browsers and situations that users config it explicitly/implicitly. Closed in favor of #479.

someone may still tips error with
axios.defaults.adapter = require('axios/lib/adapters/http');

I found that when we require
axios/lib/adapters/http,
it will be replaced with
axios/lib/adapters/xhr
beacuse of webpack.

In axios's package.json, i found this code
"browser": { "./lib/adapters/http.js": "./lib/adapters/xhr.js" },

It seems like in electron 5+, webpack will replace http to xhr in render.

I delete axios's package.json code i mentioned. 'require('axios/lib/adapters/http')' works.

I also have exact same error. Two years and no response doesn't look promising.
