ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

[ghost]

I'm following the tutorial at: https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/test-the-apis.html

I'm using node v8.9.4 and the latest packages as of 2/12/2018

I get this error:

@paul-tx This seems like an issue with the Cognito JS SDK. Can I see your package.json?

Hi Jay, I’m not sure which project I was doing this for. One thing I know though is that I’m fastidious about always using the latest version of packages.

I encountered a similar issue in another script I was building using amazon-cognito-identity-js library v2.0.0 on node v6.10.3 I was able to fix it by adding node-fetch npm to the project and setting a global for it. global.fetch = require('node-fetch');

@sw-waterford Did you add this to the index.js https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/aws-api-gateway-cli-test/blob/master/index.js?

[sw-waterford]

This was in a different project/library if it was added to the index of this project it should be a suitable replacement for the WindowMock library. I have not encountered the issue with this module so I have not tried swapping them out.
