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

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 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”;

@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
