Summary

supertest@7.3.1 contains a regression that breaks this repository's test suite, as reported in #772. The ^7.2.2 range in devDependencies now resolves to 7.3.1, so a fresh install fails even though no library code has changed. No fixed supertest release is available yet (7.3.1 is still the latest release), so this pins supertest to 7.3.0, the last known working version, as suggested in #772. The pin can be lifted once a fixed supertest release is published.

The failing tests are the ones that stream a body with .write() on the request (for example the charset and chunked-encoding cases): with 7.3.1 they fail with Error: ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused from supertest's server handling, while the same tests pass on 7.3.0.

Changes

• package.json: change the supertest devDependency from ^7.2.2 to the exact version 7.3.0, so fresh installs no longer resolve to the regressed 7.3.1 release.

Tests

Baseline, with supertest@7.3.1 installed:

• npx mocha --reporter spec test/json.js - 39 passing, 27 failing (all failures are Error: ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused in tests using .write())

With supertest@7.3.0 pinned by this change:

• npx mocha --reporter dot --check-leaks test/ - 273 passing, 4 pending, 0 failing
• npm run lint - passed

Fixes #772
