NodeJS Axios: The "listener" argument must be of type Function

I have simple function that uses axios to make an API call. It is called multiple times and after few I get the same error on every of them:

Trace: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "listener" argument must be of type Function. Received type object     at checkListener (events.js:77:11)     at TLSSocket.once (events.js:326:3)     at Object.connect (_tls_wrap.js:1425:13)     at Agent.createConnection (https.js:125:22)     at Agent.createSocket (_http_agent.js:242:26)     at Agent.addRequest (_http_agent.js:201:10)     at new ClientRequest (_http_client.js:276:16)     at Object.request (https.js:309:10)     at RedirectableRequest._performRequest (webpack:///./node_modules/follow-redirects/index.js?:169:24)     at new RedirectableRequest (webpack:///./node_modules/follow-redirects/index.js?:66:8) {   code: 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE' }

I am using Vue in my app for frontend, but this function is called from NodeJS backend.

Axios instance:

this.axios = axios.create({     withCredentials: true,     responseType: 'json' });

Axios call:

await this.axios({     url: this.url,     method: 'POST',                headers: this.headers,     responseType: 'json',     withCredentials: true,     params: {         input: 'test',         method: method     },     data: callData });

Thank you.

It is caused by electron. I had to use electron net library to do the requests instead of axios.

Thanks to @Daniel_Knights for suggestions.
