Getting Filter to Work

Users GraphQL
1

I am using the tutorial schema of:

type Task {
  id: ID!
  title: String! @search(by: [fulltext])
  completed: Boolean! @search
  user: User!
}
type User {
  username: String! @id @search(by: [hash])
  name: String
  tasks: [Task] @hasInverse(field: user)
}

and running the query:

query MyQuery {
  queryTask {
    user(filter: {username: {eq: "alice@dgraph.io"}}) {
      username
    }
  }
}

gives the error:

    {
      "message": "Non-nullable field 'user' (type User!) was not present in result from Dgraph.  GraphQL error propagation triggered.",
      "locations": [

          "column": 5

      ],

        "queryTask",

        "user"
      ]
    },

      ]
    },

      },
      {
        "user": {
          "username": "alice@dgraph.io"
        }
      },
      null,

              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

FWIW, without the filter the query:

query MyQuery {
  queryTask {
    user {
      username
    }
  }
}

returns

  "data": {
    "queryTask": [
      {
        "user": {
          "username": "alice@dgraph.io"
        }
      },
      {
        "user": {
          "username": "alice@dgraph.io"
        }
      },
      {
        "user": {
          "username": "email@example.com"
        }
      },
      {

What version of Dgraph are you using? I was unable to reproduce this on my Cloud instance (v21.03.0-31-gdbd574439)

I’m using dgraph cloud (v20.11.2-rc1-23-gaf5030a5). Feel free to checkout my instance if you want, it’s all public https://empty-pine.us-west-2.aws.cloud.dgraph.io/graphql

@ chewxy any idea?

I’d wait for the cloud upgrades to finish processing

I experienced this too.

Solution right now is to either add @cascade to some extent to remove nodes that do not have the filtered edges when those edges are required, or remove the requirement ! from an edge that you want to query that may not be present when filtered.

7

Depending on your code, you make want to make sure the @auth rule is set when you add the task.

I am also running into this exact issue with self hosted version v21.03.1.
Is there any update on this issue?
