Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'namespace') 3.7.0 error

Could be a duplicate of #654. After recently changing to 3.7.0 we are encountering the following error:

XRAY TraceId: 1-666194fb-4d3d1850fcf803f9e905fdf7   SegmentId: 161caf1c19d1cbf2 Sampled: true

The code tries to bind the xray trace id to an outgoing http request.

import * as awsXRay from 'aws-xray-sdk-core'
import https from 'https'

const enableTracing = true

export function makeXrayHttps({ enableTracing }: { enableTracing: boolean }) {
    return enableTracing ? awsXRay.captureHTTPs(https, true) : https // <-- Most likely failing here
}

const xrayHttps = makeXrayHttps({ enableTracing })
