Apollo-server: "Expected Type String, found String" error: say what?

[bobbwhy]

I have an Apollo Graphql server up and running. I can make queries using the graphiql just fine.
BUT: When I try to make the same queries using cross-fetch OR Postman, i get no end of troubles.

Postman shows the following error from the server:

{"errors":[{"message":"Expected type String, found String.","locations":[{"line":1,"column":35}]},{"message":"Expected type String, found String.","locations":[{"line":1,"column":52}]},{"message":"Expected type String, found String.","locations":[{"line":1,"column":69}]}]}

The request was this ( copied right from server console.log statement ):

{"query":"        {        login(RQToken: String, username:String, password:String) {            RQToken          }        }      ","variables":{"username":"aoeu","password":"aoeu"}}

What is sending me a little crazy is I get three errors that all say "Expected type String, found String".
WHAT? WHAT ? it wants a string, it got a string. It tells me this is an error.

What I have done so far:

• Tested the same request successfully in graphiql.
• Replicated the graphiql request in postmant
• AND in cross-fetch in a react action.
• Ruled out CORS issues with a basic route on the graphql server that works from cross-fetch and postman.
• Console.logged the body in the server side to be sure all the requests are the same.

• Tried also using the ApolloClient from ApolloBoost. This gives me a "fetch not found globally" error even though I pass in cross-fetch... that may end up in a post over on that site.

Thank you in advance.

If that's the actual query, then it's not quite formatted correctly. You probably want something more like this -

query getLogin($username: String, $password: String){
    login(username: $username, password: $password) {            RQToken          }
}

And then still passing username and password variables as you've shown in your example

Thank goodness someone found this as humorously frustrating as I have.
