Response contamination when using axios-hooks with testing-library due to LRU cache

[eelkevdbos]

The useAxios hook uses a LRU cache by default. When writing tests, the cache is not invalidated between tests (at least not with testing-library). This makes previous responses "bleed" into subsequent tests. This behavior can easily be disabled in the test suite setup with the following:

beforeAll(() => {
    useAxios.configure({cache: false})
})

I'm not sure if it deserves a place in the docs, but I thought I would mention it here to -- possibly -- save someone a bit of time.

Reference to the issue I originally landed on: testing-library/react-testing-library#716

It would be great to include this in the docs. Would you like to send a PR?

[eelkevdbos]

Yes, I'll work on one 👍

[simoneb]

@eelkevdbos any updates?

[eelkevdbos]

@simoneb, is this still relevant? If it is, I can make some time today for a PR on the docs.

@eelkevdbos it would be great if you could do it!
