httpHandlerInitialization - error - Cannot find name 'RequestInit

[VTLee]

It appears that this commit yesterday added a function that references "RequestInit" as a type.

This type is not imported, and results in the following error:

../node_modules/@smithy/types/dist-types/http/httpHandlerInitialization.d.ts:114:50 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'RequestInit'.

114     requestInit?: (httpRequest: IHttpRequest) => RequestInit;

I'm not familiar with Smithy / this code base, Just tracing down broken pipelines that appeared today. I can't see a reference to RequestInit in the node modules pulled in for this package.

Created a fix here: #1403. This is a global type that is not always present.

Thank you for the prompt response!

We will release a patch version of @smithy/types momentarily. As an alternative you can stub the type with

declare global {
  interface RequestInit {}
}

which is what the patch will be doing.

Should appear as https://www.npmjs.com/package/@smithy/types/v/3.4.2 in ~15 minutes.
