hey! I’m trying to populate my database with dummy data and I’m using the

seed.graphql

file to do so. I’ve defined 3 mutations to add dummy users and named them differently. When executing I’m getting the following error:

ERROR: Must provide operation name if query contains multiple operations

{
  "data": null,
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Must provide operation name if query contains multiple operations"
    }
  ],
  "status": 200
}

The used

seed.graphql

works if I copy it into GraphqL Playground. Can the seed file only contain one mutation? Here’s the `seed.graphql`:

mutation addUserA {
  createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:usera@example.de|usera@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "A"
  }) {
    id
  }
}

mutation addUserB {
  createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:userb@example.de|userb@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "B"
  }) {
    id
  }
}

mutation addUserC {
  createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:userc@example.de|userc@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "C"
  }) {
    id
  }
}

Can the seed file only contain one mutation?

yes.

alright, I’ve missed that issue. What option would you choose for this use case? Generate data and export them to load the

.zip

?

I would probably use the

run

script option

alright. Write a litte script that just fires the mutations one after another?

yup

Does this not work?

mutation  {
  addUserA: createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:usera@example.de|usera@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "A"
  }) {
    id
  }

  addUserB: createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:userb@example.de|userb@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "B"
  }) {
    id
  }

  addUserC: createUser(data: {
    email: "<mailto:userc@example.de|userc@example.de>"
    password: "$2a$10$hACwQ5/HQI6FhbIISOUVeusy3sKyUDhSq36fF5d/54aAdiygJPFzm"
    firstname: "User"
    lastname: "C"
  }) {
    id
  }
}

ie. a single mutation with named transactions.

it does work, good point @stephen!

works, thanks @stephen! 🙂
