11/26/2018, 2:30 PMProbably a dumb question. I've been following the HowToGraphQL guides with node and I've started getting messages like this " "message": "Variable '$_v0_data' expected value of type 'UserCreateInput!' " and I've no idea what it means. Any clues?

11/26/2018, 2:32 PMdoes it say in which file or at what point you get this error? Is it when you try to deploy your datamodel?

Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:33 PMI'm using playground to try and populate some data
Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:34 PMI believe it's deployed ok. I can see it in playground on the server side.
Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:35 PMAlso getting this: Reason: 'email' Field 'email' is not defined in the input type 'UserCreateInput'. (line 1, column 11):\nmutation ($_v0_data: UserCreateInput!) {\n ^",

Novalis
11/26/2018, 2:46 PMdoes your User in the datamodel has a field called email? e.g.:
Copy code
type User {
email: String!
}Novalis
11/26/2018, 2:47 PMIt seems like your server is missing the email field in some graphql file. Try to redeploy and refetch your generated schema with the get-schema command, maybe this will help 🙂

Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:50 PMhere is what's in database/datamodel.graphql
Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:50 PM Copy code
type User {
id: ID! @unique
name: String!
email: String! @unique
password: String!
circuits: [Circuit!]!
sends: [Send!]!
homegym: Gym
}Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:51 PMand here is what's in the other datamodel file: ``type User {
id: ID!
name: String!
email: String!
circuits: [Circuit!]!
}11

11/26/2018, 2:51 PMI'm not very good at this formatting 😄

Novalis
11/26/2018, 2:52 PMIt seems you have to use 3x `` on the beginning and 3x `` at the end for the formatting 😄 (3x one apostrophe)

11/26/2018, 2:56 PMon the playground you can see the schemas available on the right. Clicke there on CreateUser. There should be something in the
ArgumentsUserCreateInput!Novalis
11/26/2018, 2:57 PMit should look like something like this:
Copy code
type UserCreateInput {
username: String!
email: String!
password: String!
//Some more field here maybe
}k
Kelly
11/26/2018, 2:57 PM Copy code
data: UserCreateInput!
type UserCreateInput {
name: String!
email: String!
password: String!
circuits: CircuitCreateManyWithoutAddedByInput
sends: SendCreateManyWithoutUserInput
homegym: GymCreateOneInput

11/26/2018, 2:59 PMcan you send the mutation command you try to populate your DB with?

Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:02 PMThis is what I've got in my Mutation.js resolver:
Copy code
async function signup(parent, args, context, info) {
const password = await bcrypt.hash(args.password, 10)
const user = await context.db.mutation.createUser({
data: { ...args, password },
}, `{ id }`)
const token = jwt.sign({ userId: user.id }, APP_SECRET)
return {
token,
user,
}
}Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:02 PMI've been dipping in and out and understanding what it's asking me to do, but not really the bigger picture of the whole thing 😕

Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:08 PMyeah i took this tutorial as well and i think it's a bit hard for graphql beginners (especially when it comes to authentication). I then took the udemy course from Andrew Mead about GraphQL, which helped me a lot in understanding the features of it ^^.
Look into the schema.graphql file and search for the CreateUserInput input type. Does it have an email field as well? With the code fetching you actually try to fetch from the generated graphql file, while from playground you fetch directly from the database. On which server and port is your application running? Windows / Mac? Are you using docker for this or plain Prisma so to say?
Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:10 PMsry, didn't mean the schema.graphql, i've meant the prisma.graphql (i think it's called. The generated graphql file from the get-schema command)

Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:10 PMI might get the tutorial! Thanks 😄
Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:11 PM Copy code
type Mutation {
createNewsarticle(data: NewsarticleCreateInput!): Newsarticle!
createUser(data: UserCreateInput!): User!Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:11 PMIt's there.
n
Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:12 PMthere must be something like:
Copy code
type UserCreateInput {
data {...}
}Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:15 PMah sry i've meant input UserCreateInput, not type UserCreateInput 😄
k
Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:15 PMOh sorry! Didn't look far enough:
Copy code
input UserCreateInput {
name: String!
email: String!
password: String!
circuits: CircuitCreateManyWithoutAddedByInput
sends: SendCreateManyWithoutUserInput
homegym: GymCreateOneInput
}n
Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:15 PMah thanks
Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:19 PMdo you have a github version of this or something so i can look and test it myself?
Novalis
11/26/2018, 3:20 PMit's really odd, because it says email field is not declared at some point, but it clearly is. Maybe you are doing a request to the wrong server or you pass wrong arguments 🤔
k
Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:21 PMI haven't really changed much in the code either.
Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:21 PMI might just nuke it and redo from start! I feel like I've just broken something without realising it

11/26/2018, 3:22 PMcould be. Sorry that i couldn't help you with it 😅

Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:25 PMThat's fine. Thanks for looking though, It's kinda reassuring that it isn't something stupid and obvious... Right, 4th time through this tutorial again!

11/26/2018, 3:32 PMthanks, good luck with the tutorial 🙂 if you keep getting stuck however, better consider another tutorial (be careful, there are lots of tutorials on youtube which are actually outdated or also quite complex).
k
Kelly
11/26/2018, 3:51 PMYeah. the issue isn't that I get stuck, more than I finish it, and then it all falls apart when I actually try and build something. I'll get there. I'll check out the udemy one
