PostmarkError: The string did not match the expected pattern

Can happen when running tests with jest and using postmark client. Jest runs by default in jsdom mode so it has a window. When changed jest to run in node, this error went away. Apparently, Axios is doing something funny in a browser context.

Axios details. More details about this can be found here.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token import - import axios from './lib/axios.js';

You are probably using older version of NodeJS that we don't support.

Library not working with Cloudfare workers

Postmark.js library is a library running on Node.JS. Cloudfare is running V8 at the moment, and doesn't support NodeJS runtime, therefore the library will not work with it.
