Preventing retries from 404 errors?

[viveleroi]

I've created a global ky file for my app so that we can define default config options easily. I'm calling ky.create with default options, exporting that, and am importing from this file in my app.

I'm testing errors and have intentionally typed an invalid url which errors with a 404. I don't want the library to retry if it receives a 404 but it tries several times before throwing a final error HTTPError: Request failed with status code 404 Not Found

What can I do to prevent it from re-trying 404s? I tried setting the retry value but that doesn't seem applicable here.

export default ky.create({
  retry: 1
})

Ky does not retry on 404, so this may be the native Fetch doing the retry. Related: #233

Thanks, I'm using react-query too so after I posted this I started wondering if maybe it was that, not ky. I'll have to look into that too, but it's that or fetch for sure then.

For anyone finding this, it was react-query. the retry config option defaults to 3.
