Dependency cacheable-request is outdated and does not distinguish POST requests with different bodies

[AlCalzone]

Describe the bug

• Node.js version: not relevant
• OS & version: not relevant

Before version 8, cacheable-request does not correctly distinguish POST requests to the same URL if their body is different. This was fixed in jaredwray/cacheable#31

I tried my hand at upgrading it, but due to changes to types that are used in got, this wasn't trivial for me. I'm sure someone who's more familiar with this codebase can do it in no time.

Actual behavior

cacheable-request is on version 7

Expected behavior

cacheable-request should be version 8 or 9

Code to reproduce

Not relevant, this is related to upgrading a dependency

Checklist

• I have read the documentation.
• I have tried my code with the latest version of Node.js and Got.

In addition @types/cacheable-request should be removed from version 9+ (see DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#62099). I've had some type errors occurring downstream that were caused by the presence of these types in my node modules.

This is being reviewed and looked at here: #2146 and tracked here: #2129

Please follow along on those.

I just started having very odd issues related to cacheable-request. I'm still trying what triggered them, but got is the only dependency when I check with npm list. As per DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#62099, this can be fixed by both upgrading and removing the types:

node_modules/@types/cacheable-request/index.d.ts:26:42 - error TS2709: Cannot use namespace 'ResponseLike' as a type.

26         cb?: (response: ServerResponse | ResponseLike) => void
                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~

@nbouvrette - please see the plan above.

@jaredwray Yes I've been reading several threads but for some reason, no workaround is working so far.

[jaredwray]

@nbouvrette - that is correct that there are no work arounds that I have seen so far. the goal is to update cacheable-request to latest in got which is in this pull request being worked on👇

#2146

[jaredwray]

Update to cacheable-request with the function requested change is now published: https://github.com/jaredwray/cacheable-request/releases/tag/v10.1.2

- const cacheableRequest = new CacheableRequest(https.request).createCacheableRequest();
+ const cacheableRequest = new CacheableRequest(https.request).request();

@jaredwray if I am following, there got still needs to publish a new release using the latest cacheable-request in order to fix the issue?

Correct. It is being actively worked on

[nbouvrette]

For those interested I did find a workaround (requires npm v8.3.0 (2021-12-09)):

Update your package.json and add:

  "overrides": {
    "@types/cacheable-request": "8.3.1"
  },

Edit /node_modules/cacheable-request/dist/types.d.ts and remove the 4 first lines /// <reference types="node" resolution-mode="require"/> (they are triggering a 'resolution-mode' assertions are only supported when 'moduleResolution' is 'node16' or 'nodenext'. error and I could not find anything on Google... removing them worked for me)

[sindresorhus]

cacheable-request was updated in https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/releases/tag/v12.5.0

[AlCalzone]

Unfortunately, this is only half-fixed. got does not pass the request body to cacheable-request. I'll raise a PR

[jaredwray]

@AlCalzone - thanks for jumping on this.
