Apollo-ios: Apollo API.swift file not generating

[geeksweep]

Environment:

Xcode 10.1
Mac 10.13.6
apollo/2.5.1 darwin-x64 node-v10.15.1
npm 6.4.1

Having some issues generating the API.swift file from the schema.json. not sure if the command for this has been updated but not reflected in the docs. Since the script inside Xcode was not generating the API.swift file I decided to try it out manually

apollo codegen:generate --queries="$(find . -name '*.graphql')" --schema=schema.json API.swift

and i get the follow error:

› Error: Unexpected argument: API.swift
› See more help with --help

other errors I get in the more detailed build within Xcode is:

(node:1534) Error Plugin: apollo: files attribute must be specified in /Users/megaman/Developer/myProject/node_modules/apollo/package.json

(node:1534) Error Plugin: @oclif/plugin-not-found: files attribute must be specified in /Users/megaman/Developer/myProject/node_modules/@oclif/plugin-not-found/package.json

I have installed node and npm which reside at

/usr/local/bin/node
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm

directly installed from node.js website. I do NOT have it installed via homebrew. Apollo was installed via cocoapods instead of carthage.

any idea whats going on here? The API.swift file is not being generated at the end of all this so I end up getting graphql errors in Xcode obviously.

Did you find a solution?

same issue here

Did you installed Apollo cli global?

[kukkadapukarthik]

Build failed. #474

I'm having the same issue, did you make any headway on this?

[kukkadapukarthik]

$APOLLO_FRAMEWORK_PATH/check-and-run-apollo-cli.sh codegen:generate --includes="./*/.graphql" --endpoint='https://xxx.com/graphql' --target=swift API.swift

the issue will be solved by using the above command on build phase.

Seems like the $APOLLO_FRAMEWORK_PATH/check-and-run-apollo-cli.sh command doesn't actually run the local version of apollo.

_This is what is run under the hood._

npx --no-install apollo codegen:generate --queries="$(find . -name '*.graphql')" --schema=schema.json API.swift

They do this to make sure a known working version of the cli is used for the code-gen, which breaks with newer versions (https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios/issues/334).

@kukkadapukarthik posted a working command for the newest version of apollo-cli, but if you want to use the code-gen the way that's referenced on the docs, you'll have to stick with the npx version.

My issue was fixed by making sure schema.json and all .graphql files were inside the project folder. (ie. project_name/project_name/schema.json). NOT project_name/schema.json.

Hey all, I've recently updated the setup instructions for the codegen build phase - please try those out and if you're still experiencing problems, open a new issue with details and I'll dig into it. Meanwhile, I'll close this issue out.

[radekcep]

No luck, the same error... Did anyone find some solution?

[designatednerd]

@radekcep What is the command you are using within Xcode to run the build phase?

[radekcep]

@designatednerd I'm running exactly what is stated in the setup:
SCRIPT_PATH="${PODS_ROOT}/Apollo/scripts" cd "${SRCROOT}/${TARGET_NAME}" "${SCRIPT_PATH}"/check-and-run-apollo-cli.sh codegen:generate --target=swift --includes=./*.graphql --localSchemaFile="schema.json" API.swift

I have clean versions of Apollo CLI (-g 2.16.0) and pod (0.12.0) installed.

Yet I always end up with:
› Warning: apollo update available from 1.9.2 to 2.16.0. ++ npx --no-install apollo codegen:generate --target=swift '--includes=./*.graphql' --localSchemaFile=schema.json API.swift › Warning: apollo update available from 1.9.2 to 2.16.0. › Error: Unexpected arguments: --localSchemaFile=schema.json, API.swift › See more help with --help Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

[designatednerd]

If you're on v0.12.0 of the pod, it'll ignore your global install and try to locally install 1.9.x of the CLI client. Please check out my response here on changes to the build script that are shipping with 0.13.0 (hopefully tomorrow 23 July) - if you use the build script linked there, that should work well with 0.12.0

My apologies, I'll try to figure out a better way to keep docs showing both old and new versions until a new version is released in the future.

[radekcep]

Yes, that seems to help a little, but now the script just hangs on different error: Cannot read property 'getMutationType' of undefined

[designatednerd]

Yeah that seems like a different error - can you open a new issue for that @radekcep and we'll try to figure out what's going on?

[radekcep]

@designatednerd you're right. And big thank you for your help with this one!

[johndpope]

Can someone please check the front-page ios repo
this update fixes some things - but it's still not generating
https://github.com/apollographql/frontpage-ios-app/pull/16
I'm on xcode 10.1 -

[designatednerd]

@johndpope Went through and updated all the things and closed all the PRs and issues today. Sorry it's been a bit abandoned - FYI we're probably going to switch to a new sample app at some point soonish, but I don't have an ETA on that.

[johndpope]

thank you
