@jonathandturner The axios package is also used by @azure/msal-node which we use. Can we get it updated upstream as well? See https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/blob/2ab1fb8f280ab49a42c7eaabfa4c3ec941aa19e1/lib/msal-node/package.json#L74

Will this be fixed in the 1.2.1 release? If yes, when can we expect 1.2.1 to be available?

This issue is also affecting @azure/loganalytics. Can be updated for this package too?

[ramya-rao-a]

@rmiraballes The @azure/loganalytics depends on @azure/ms-rest-js which in turn depends on axios. We merged the fix for this in https://github.com/Azure/ms-rest-js/pull/407 and will be releasing an update soon

[ramya-rao-a]

@rmiraballes We just released an update for @azure/ms-rest-js, so you should be good with @azure/loganalytics

[rmiraballes]

@ramya-rao-a Thanks

[ccaspers]

At least for me, the issue persists because version 1.2.1 depends an "@azure/msal-node": "1.0.0-beta.1" which in turn depends on "axios": "^0.19.2"

[rmiraballes]

Yes is still happening in @azure/[email protected], because of the @azure/msal-node dependency:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/master/sdk/identity/identity/package.json#L86

Is fixed on @azure/loganalytics.

[ramya-rao-a]

The PR to update axios in @azure/msal-node was merged yesterday, see https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-js/pull/2825

Once an update to @azure/msal-node is released, we can look into updating our dependency on it as well

[ramya-rao-a]

@azure/msal-node has released an update with the fix
Re-opening this issue until we update the @azure-msal-node dependency in @azure/identity

[ramya-rao-a]

@jonathandturner Can we close this issue now that 1.2.2 of @azure/identity is released?

[sadasant]

@ramya-rao-a we're not using the Axios anymore on Identity, we've confirmed. We still have other packages that are using the old Axios though.

[jonathandturner]

Closing this issue, since the issue with Axios for @azure/identity should be solved with 1.2.2.
