ReferenceError: TextEncoder is not defined in axios >= 1.3.0

[Shhad]

Describe the issue

Hi,
I've encountered problem after upgrading axios to version 1.3.0.
In my tests, below error has shown up:

ReferenceError: TextEncoder is not defined

at Object. (node_modules/axios/lib/helpers/formDataToStream.js:7:21)

I saw release notes but I didn't find any breaking changes.

Is it a bug?

In version 1.2.6 this error does not exist.

You are probably using node.js older than v11.0.0 while we officially support v12 and above. Is this the only problem? Does Axios 1.2.x work on your platform?

Using Node v18.13.0 and having the same issue.

@JanHamara Just tested on 18.12.1

import axios from 'axios';

const form = new FormData();

form.append('foo', 'bar');

const {data} = await axios.post('http://httpbin.org/post', form);

console.log(process.version, axios.VERSION, data);

v18.12.1 1.3.0 {
  args: {},
  data: '',
  files: {},
  form: { foo: 'bar' },

Working fine in 1.3.1 also @JanHamara

Hi, I'm using axios 1.5.1 with node version v18.16.0 and still have the issue.

Guys, turns out it fails if you use yarn, I tried reinstalling with npm and it works.

I have the same problem when using Vite version 5. Vite 4.5.3 works. 🤷‍♂️
I looked at patching the export, but... meh..

this issue was introduce back in v1.7.0
