Sorry this isn't descriptive enough. You should use the issue template. Where do you get the error? What platform are you using?

[gohelkiran30]

Sorry for inconvenience. I am using Ubuntu 19.04
It happens on both chrome Version 78.0.3904.108 (Official Build) (64-bit) and firefox 71.0 (64-bit).

This happens on both Query and Mutations. It was working ok before today's version update.

for example this
````
query{
event(id: 64){
id
type
title
}
}

Do you get the error in the console? Did you get an error alert in the app? Are you using the browser extensions or the web app?

[imolorhe]

Can you set the name of your query like query somename {...}?

[gohelkiran30]

I am using browser extension
Tried with name but it gives same error

query something {
  event(id: 64){
    id
    type
    title
  }
}

It gives error in console as well as in output screen

error: Object { errors: (1) […] }
​headers: Object { normalizedNames: Map(0), lazyUpdate: null, lazyInit: lazyInit() }
​message: "Http failure response for http://localhost/graphql: 400 Bad Request"
​name: "HttpErrorResponse"
​ok: false
​status: 400
​statusText: "Bad Request"
url: "http://localhost/graphql"

It passes operationName to blank

operationName: ""
query: "query{↵ event(id: 64){↵ id↵ type↵ title↵ comment↵ }↵}"
variables: {}

Okay one more thing. Try adding a second query (that is, you should have two queries in your request with names) and sending.

[someden]

@imolorhe yep, it works with two queries

[someden]

@imolorhe oh, it works for queries, but doesn't work for Reload Docs, because getting docks is one query:

query: "query IntrospectionQuery {...}"
variables: {}
operationName: ""

[imolorhe]

Right. So I understand the issue now sufficiently. Can you try with the Firefox add-on?

[gohelkiran30]

@imolorhe it works with 2 named queries, introspection query not working with both Chrome and Firefox.

[imolorhe]

Thanks. Will push a new release with the fix today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Closed in 1868419c17fe0270c69582ec5110c32c73cb61b5. Would be fixed in v2.4.2.
