request npm-package deprecated and tests wont run

[Abhilash-Chandran]

As of Feb 11, 2020 the npm package request is deprecated.
Please check this npm site and github repo.

This means, the tests cannot depend on this package. Test wont run in a freshly setup dev environment for developers.

Following is the error caused in Ubuntu 18 and node 12.16.1....
