Variables never provided for my production application

Really weird one here. I have Payload deployed on an Azure Linux instance, deploying locally from my machine.



When writing out queries to (even a production) server that's running locally - everything works as it should, but when deployed on Azure, I get:


{
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "Variable \"$slug\" of required type \"String!\" was not provided.",
            "locations": [
                {
                    "line": 1,
                    "column": 24
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}


Any ideas? There's no differences between local and cloud.

    This is a graphql error, and you are certain you are passing a slug to your query?

    I'm running the same query



    Doing it inside postman - only thing that changes is the domain



    from localhost > my production URL

    is this a custom graphql query or a baked in one?

    wdym by baked in one?





    That's the exact query I'm running

    Interesting, so from postman it does

    not

    work. Can you enable graphql playground on the prod instance?

    Hmmm - will do

    // payload.config.ts
    graphQL: {
      disablePlaygroundInProduction: false,
    }


    (then build and serve obviously)

    doing so now!



    Production





    Dev:





    Copy/pasted all of the details in



    so It's not my query



    Just simplified it down to title and the query still doesnt seem to work



    For clarity - neither my

    payload.config.ts

    or

    server.ts

    are just the ones you get from the blog starter - minus my own collections of course



    Nothing in logs either

    Does seem strange, can you remove the "id" param from dev

  • default discord avatar

    Yes - that's just for another query



    Also not an access thing



    Thats on production

    yep just want to make them exactly the same 👍

    unfortunately makes no difference



    I'm 1/2 way through deploying to railway to check and see if it's an Azure thing



    Don't think it is though - there are no changes to the default config made there



    No change



    This is dependency related @Jarrod - deleting my

    yarn.lock

    (which doesn't get passed to Azure) makes this happen on localhost



    So if I am correct - 90% sure


      "dependencies": {
        "dotenv": "8.2.0",
        "express": "4.17.1",
        "payload": "1.6.28"
      },

    One of these is the culprit - assuming it will be the payload library itself importing the newest version of something which has a bug



    I'll assume it's Apollo's GraphQL library?



    I'm just re-deploying to Azure now so this should let me know if I am right or not



    This was it!



    Locking those variables in seems to have worked
