chai import error

[rnura1234]

I am import chai as chaiModule, but getting error like
import chaiModule from "chai";
^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module 'chai' does not provide an export named 'default'

Code for Reference

import chaiModule from "chai";
import chaiHttp from "chai-http";

const chai = chaiModule.use(chaiHttp);
describe('Users API Testing', () => {

    it('GET all the users', (done) => {
        chai.request('http://localhost:3000')
        .get('/')
        .get('/api/users')
        .end((err, res) => {
            if (err) done(err);
            expect(res).to.have.status(200);
            expect(res.body).to.be.an('array');
            done();
        });
    });
});

and when Import like
import * as chai from 'chai',
getting error - chai.request is not a function,

I tried different way to import , but getting same error.

import * as chaiModule from "chai";
import chaiHttp from "chai-http";

const chai = chaiModule.use(chaiHttp);

Should work as expected

I'm trying to find a good way to use chai http chai.request and especially chai http agent chai.request.agent (agent doc) with latest versions of chai and chai-http but unfortunately, I always encounter issue

    "chai": "^5.1.2",
    "chai-http": "^5.1.1",

With

import * as chaiModule from "chai";
import chaiHttp from "chai-http";
const chai = chaiModule.use(chaiHttp);

or

import {use} from 'chai';
import chaiHttp from "chai-http";
const chai = use(chaiHttp);

I got

# chai.request('http://localhost:3000')
=> request is not a function

#  const agent = chai.request.agent(appListening);
#  agent.post('/login')
=> Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'agent')`.

Are they compatible? I would love a fully fonctionnal doc/sample/gist for request & request.agent latest compatible versions.

I noticed that

• with chai in ^4.0.0 (currently 4.5.0) + chai-http version (5.1.1) : .request.agent(app).get is working but no .request(url)
• with chai in ^4.0.0 (currently 4.5.0) + and chai-http in ^4.0.0 (4.4.0) : .request.agent(app).get AND .request(url) both works

They are compatible.

The examples throughout the current readme should be working fine. They import request instead of accessing it from the chai object. Though you should be able to access it from the chai object too

You gave good example code but none for the actual test file where the problem arises. Just that "request is not a function". Maybe if you show us code you're trying to run that causes that error, we will figure something out
