TypeError: request is not a function

[Bastes]

I'm trying to get airbrake to work on a worker project I have (no web server, not even an api, just a simple worker that does its stuff repeatedly in its own process):

Here's what I did:

// package.json
"airbrake-js": "^0.9.8"

// ...
const airbrakeJs = require('airbrake-js');
const airbrake = new airbrakeJs.Client({projectId: PROJECT_ID, projectKey: PROJECT_KEY});
airbrake.notify('Silly uncaught exception');

And here's what I get:

/src/node_modules/airbrake-js/dist/client.js:1250
    request({
    ^

TypeError: request is not a function
    at report (/src/node_modules/airbrake-js/dist/client.js:1250:5)

    at emitOne (events.js:115:13)
    at process.emit (events.js:210:7)
    at process._fatalException (bootstrap_node.js:329:26)

Since my keys work (tested in a ruby script) and I have followed what I found on the README, I'm guessing something might be wrong with airbrake-js itself ; my money would be on:

// airbrake-js's package.json
// ...
"devDependencies": {
// ...
  "@types/request": "^2.0.2"
// ...
}
...

(because a dev dependency should not be needed in the running sources)

Since I'm a bit new to nodejs and its requirements, I'm not sure though ^^° I'd send a pull request if I was, but I'm probably going to fork and play with this just to see if I can get it to work

Well, adding the "@types/request@2.0.2" dependency in my project didn't help, I'm still getting the same error -_-

I guess you need to install https://github.com/request/request:

npm install request

@vmihailenco Hi, thanks for the reply ^^ I'm trying it and letting you know.

@vmihailenco So, it works with request ^^ thanks. Mind if I send a PR with something in the README about it? (any advice on where it should go too?)

PR is welcome - I think a note in https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake-js#setup section will be enough...

Cool, I'm on it ^^ Le mar. 17 oct. 2017 à 11:45, Vladimir Mihailenco <notifications@github.com> a écrit :
