HTTP GET request returns old result in Node.js

[canbax]

Description

I'm using Node.js 20. My YML file is as simple as below.

name: Unit test
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  install-and-run-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Use Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20.x'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run test

My tests pass on local but they fail on GitHub workflow https://github.com/canbax/GPS-miner/actions/runs/8131285823/job/22220431826

The failing test is making 2 HTTP requests to https://query.wikidata.org/ to get data. Both of them return the same result but they are actually different queries. When I log the queries I see that they are different.

actually I noticed the tests are also failing locally sometimes. It might be a vitest issue.

Ok, I noticed my issue is something totally different. Wikimedia might block or return empty results if you don't provide a "User-Agent" field. After I provided this, my workflow is now ✅ Thank you anyway!
