nuxt-axios module + axios v0.019 + retry-axios

[perezd]

Version

v5.6.0

Reproduction link

softonic/axios-retry#59

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to enable retry:
https://axios.nuxtjs.org/options#retry

Cause a failed HTTP request, watch console output and see infinity retries at full speed.

What is expected ?

Retry 3 times as per the doc defaults.

What is actually happening?

infinite high speed retrying.

Additional comments?

OK so the problem is axios-retry is incompatible with axios 0.19:
softonic/axios-retry#59

It looks like someone tried/is trying to fix it?
softonic/axios-retry#82

The project hasn't seen any movement since January 24th (3.1.2).
The problem here, is that nuxt-axios is depending on ^0.19.0 and I guess there are no tests for this sort of integration regression.

The only solution is for me to pin axios to 0.18.1 in my own package.json.
This is messy, how should this module react to this problem? They are presenting a documented API that isn't behaving as documented..
