Missing selection set for object GraphQL+Apollo error

问题

I have a set of mutations that trigger the local state of certain types of popups. They're generally set up like this:

  openDialog: (_, variables, { cache }) => {
    const data = {
      popups: {
        ...popups,
        dialog: {
          id: 'dialog',
          __typename: 'Dialog',
          type: variables.type
        }
      }
    };

    cache.writeData({
      data: data
    });
    return null;
  }

And the defaults I pass in look like:

const defaults = {
  popups: {
    __typename: TYPENAMES.POPUPS,
    id,
    message: null,
    modal: null,
    menu: null,
    dialog: null
  }
};

The way they're used in my React code is with a Mutation wrapper component, like so:

const OPEN_ALERT_FORM = gql`
  mutation AlertOpenDialog($type: String!) {
    openDialog(type: $type) @client
  }
`;

class Alert extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Mutation mutation={OPEN_ALERT_FORM} variables={{ type: ALERT_FORM }}>
        {openDialog => {
          return (
            <Button
              classes="alert-button"
              onClick={openDialog}
              label="Trigger Alert"
            />
          );
        }}
      </Mutation>
    );
  }
}

For my various popups (I have 3 or 4 different ones, like menu and modal), the mutations to open and close them all look the same, just different typenames and content etc. But, for Dialogs, I get this error when I click on them:

Network error: Missing selection set for object of type Dialog returned for query field dialog

...and then the triggering component disappears from the page. Plus, once that happens, all other popup types disappear when you try clicking on them, and either re-throw that error, or say:

Uncaught Error: A cross-origin error was thrown. React doesn't have access to the actual error object in development.

I've tried re-writing dialogs to match up with other popup types, and re-writing the components as well, but I'm still getting this error. It does appear to be dialog+Apollo specific. What could be the root of this issue? It can't be a backend thing, because this is only dealing with local Apollo. I haven't seen this error before and I'm not sure where to go from here.

回答1:

Had the same problem error message. Seems like this is the only question in stackoverflow so far with this same error message in the question.

I will just note down my side of things

In my case, I have a query that is not querying the fields of the object. Anagolous to this case, the query that i have looks like this

{
  popups @client {
    id
    dialog
  }
}

It should be

{
  popups @client {
    id
    dialog {
      id
    }
  }
}

Answer to the actual problem seems lay in the query. Initially Apollo client was not validating types for @client queries/mutations so your mutation could look like you wrote it in the question:

mutation AlertOpenDialog($type: String!) {
  openDialog(type: $type) @client
}

the correct way of writing above is to specify (select) all the simple type (scalar) fields you wanna get in a response. So in regard to the @Vic answer the mutation should look more like:

mutation AlertOpenDialog($type: String!) {
  openDialog(type: $type) @client {
    dialog {
      id
    }
  }
}

The fix for this turned out to work by treating the dialog field as a string instead of an object. Changing the function to this did the trick and made the errors go away:

  openDialog: (_, variables, { cache }) => {
    const data = {
      popups: {
        ...popups,
        dialog: variables.type
      }
    };

    cache.writeData({
      data: data
    });
    return null;
  }
