Apollo-server: Apollo Server 2.0 Getting Started Guide Error

[zachrnolan]

I'm following the getting started guide here: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/v2/getting-started.html

Once I start the server and go to localhost:4000 in Chrome, it says "GET query missing.".

I even tried cloning the example project and received the same message: https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-server-example

Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to be anything in the guide that I missed.

OSX 10.13.4
Node: v8.9.4
NPM: 5.6.0

Here's the part of the source code where this error is being thrown:

if (!request.query || Object.keys(request.query).length === 0) {
    throw new HttpQueryError(400, 'GET query missing.');
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ugh, I had NODE_ENV set to test in my .bash_profile. Commenting that out fixed this issue. Nothing to see here.

Hey!

Yes I confirm, I'm completely new to apollo and did not realize that I was testing my production build, so my node env was set to prod. Running my dev build did the trick!

To enable the playground in production, see https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/features/graphql-playground.html#Enabling-GraphQL-Playground-in-production

while developing the mobile app is there any way to solve this without exposing the graphql on production

In my case I need to clean browser cache for localhost:3000
