[SOLVED] Apollo-client returns "400 (Bad Request) Error" on sending mutation to server

Apollo-client returns "400 (Bad Request) Error" on sending mutation to server

I am currently using the vue-apollo package for Apollo client with VueJs stack with django and graphene-python for my GraphQl API.

I have a simple setup with vue-apollo below:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client'
import { HttpLink } from 'apollo-link-http'
import { InMemoryCache } from 'apollo-cache-inmemory'
import VueApollo from 'vue-apollo'
import Cookies from 'js-cookie'


const httpLink = new HttpLink({
  credentials: 'same-origin',
  uri: 'http://localhost:8000/api/',
})

// Create the apollo client
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
  link: httpLink,
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
  connectToDevTools: true,
})

export const apolloProvider = new VueApollo({
  defaultClient: apolloClient,
})

// Install the vue plugin
Vue.use(VueApollo)

I also have CORS setup on my Django settings.py with the django-cors-headers package. All queries and mutations resolve fine when I use graphiQL or the Insomnia API client for chrome, but trying the mutation below from my vue app:

'''

import gql from "graphql-tag";
import CREATE_USER from "@/graphql/NewUser.gql";

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      test: ""
    };
  },
  methods: {
    authenticateUser() {
      this.$apollo.mutate({
        mutation: CREATE_USER,
        variables: {
          email: "test@example.com",
          password: "pa$$word",
          username: "testuser"
        }
      }).then(data => {
          console.log(result)
      })
    }
  }
};

NewUser.gql

mutation createUser($email: String!, $password: String!, $username: String!) {
  createUser (username: $name, password: $password, email: $email)
  user {
    id
    username
    email
    password
  }
}

returns with the error response below:

POST http://localhost:8000/api/ 400 (Bad Request)

ApolloError.js?d4ec:37 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Network error: Response not successful: Received status code 400

Regular queries in my vue app, however, work fine resolving the right response, except mutations, so this has me really baffled

Solution

400 errors generally mean there's something off with the query itself. In this instance, you've defined (and you're passing in) a variable called $username -- however, your query references it as $name on line 2.
