Problem with input types in mutations

mutation addUser($user: AddUserInput!) {
  addUser(input: [$user]) {
    user {
      ...UserSummary
    }
  }
}

I have a problem using input types as mutation parameters. The query and parameters are parsed and accepted by engine but query returns null.

input AddUserInput {
    about: String
    avatarUrl: String
    followers: [UserRef!]
    following: [UserRef!]
    guides: [GuideRef!]
    images: [ImageRef!]
    interests: [ActivityRef!]
    isVerified: Boolean
    languages: [LanguageRef!]
    ownedByYou: [EventRef!]
    registrationDate: DateTime
    userAlias: String!
    username: String!
    yourPlaces: [PlaceRef!]
}

Parameters

{
  "user": {
    "username": "fijvhufch@gmail.com",
    "userAlias": "j7ffyffyg",
    "languages": [
      {
        "name": "English"
      }
    ],
    "interests": [
      {
        "name": "Sky Diving"
      }
    ]
  }
}

I also have problem with this query:


mutation addUser(
    $username: String!,
    $userAlias: String!,
    $languages: [LanguageRef!],
    $interests: [ActivityRef!]
) {
    addUser(input: [{
        username:  $username,
        userAlias: $userAlias,
        languages: $languages,
        interests: $interests
    }], upsert: true) {
        user {
          username,
          userAlias,
        }
    }
}
input ActivityRef {
    name: String!
}
input LanguageRef {
    name: String!
}

And this is outcome

{
  "data": {
    "addUser": null
  },
  "extensions": {
    "touched_uids": 15,
    "tracing": {
      "version": 1,

      "execution": {
        "resolvers": [
          {
            "path": [
              "addUser"
            ],
            "parentType": "Mutation",
            "fieldName": "addUser",
            "returnType": "AddUserPayload",
            "startOffset": 147104,
            "duration": 164395561,
            "dgraph": [
              {
                "label": "preMutationQuery",
                "startOffset": 196472,
                "duration": 10256710
              },
              {
                "label": "mutation",
                "startOffset": 10522115,
                "duration": 102941868
              },
              {
                "label": "query",
                "startOffset": 0,
                "duration": 0
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Update does not work either.

mutation MyMutation($userAlias: String!, $username: String!, $languages: [LanguageRef!] = {name: ""}, $interests: [ActivityRef!] = {name: ""}, $about: String = "") {
  updateUser(input: {filter: {username: {eq: $username}}, set: {about: $about, userAlias: $userAlias, languages: $languages, interests: $interests}}) {
    user {
      userAlias
      username
      languages {
        name
      }
      interests {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}


{
    "username": "filip.matuszewskddsi2@gmail.com",
    "userAlias": "phellippe5dd",
    "languages": [
      {
        "name": "English"
      }
    ],
    "interests": [
      {
        "name": "Sky Diving"
      }
    ]
}

Can you supply the schema for your User type as well as the Language and Interest types?

type User  {
	about: String 
	username: String! @id
        userAlias: String!
        avatarUrl: String
	interests: [Activity!] 
	languages: [Language!] 
	following: [User!] @hasInverse(field:followers) 
	followers: [User!] @hasInverse(field:following) 
        registrationDate: DateTime
        isVerified: Boolean
}

type Language  {
	name: String! @id
}

type Activity  
{
	name: String! @id
}
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "mutation addUser failed because Dgraph execution failed because : context deadline exceeded",

So the “context deadline exceeded” may be related to this issue. Guessing this is against a cloud instance?

I think I had a problem with @auth directive
I noticed @auth directive on top of Language type
@auth(
add: { rule: “{$USER: { eq: “my_email@gmail.com” } }”}
)
Which prevented adding new record to Language

After removing this It started to work as expected

I have to do another check if I add sufficient records to Languages will it work

I’ve stumbled on this more times than I’d like to admin :wink:

Yep I kinda confirm this is not related to your code. It’s a current issue some of us are experiencing and dgraph guys are already trying to fix it. @rarvikar

Thanks @matthewmcneely and @Leave_Trails !

Hi @Loic_Veillard, we are actively investigating the issue from this thread but I think the issue reported here was resolved as per this comment. But please let me know if that is not correct.
