Graphql-playground: Schema polling feches new schema, does not update the UI

[grahamb]

Schema polling does not update the UI when new fields are added.

This issue pertains to the following package(s):

• [x] GraphQL Playground - Electron App
• [x] GraphQL Playground

What OS and OS version are you experiencing the issue(s) on?

macOS Mojave 10.14.2

What version of graphql-playground(-electron/-middleware) are you experiencing the issue(s) on?

1.8.9

What is the expected behavior?

When a field does not exist in the schema, but is present in a query, Playground correctly marks it as an error with a red underline and associated tooltip. When the field is added to the schema and Playground updates in the background, the field should no longer be marked as an error.

What is the actual behavior?

The field is still marked as an error, despite it being present in the IntrospectionQuery result.

Thanks for reporting that, looks like there is a problem with updating schema inside codemirror. I will try to address this bug this week.

Hello,

I can confirm that this happens on the SCHEMA and DOC sidebar too. When polling is enabled and I add something new to schema, it doesn't update the SCHEMA or DOC sidebar.

Yeah, guys. Is there any update?

In case when restart the playground it works well...

I'm having similar problems with the electron app on linux ubuntu. However, for me, sometimes it works, so I suppose the bug is technically intermittent! (Allthough I would say it's broken in about 90% of instances.) Perhaps this will help with debugging.
When it does work, it usually remains working until 'something unsual' happens, which in my case is usually an internal error owing to poorly formed schema being sent...

@Huvik, any update? It's rather painful to have this feature broken, as it requires restarting GraphQL Playground to get an updated schema.

Further info: Running the Electron version, tested both 1.8.8 and 1.8.10, both are broken. I tested 1.8.8 in case a220dc00b7bb0fa3c35f13b8691c66be8ef49a82 was the commit that broke things, but it doesn't look like it. Using the developer tools, I'm not seeing the automatic schema polling happening. If I manually refresh the schema, I see the POST request go out and get a response, but nothing updates. It's not just the CodeMirror part, the schema pane also stays showing the old schema. Basically, nothing related to schema updating is working.

Same issue here on the OSX app.

[bangarangler]

Any updated on this? Same issue on macos with the app

[anthonysapien]

I'm having the same issue on MacOS with the app. I have to restart the app for the UI to update.

[DonCook]

Same on Windows.

I hate to +1 GH issues, but since this hasn't gotten much attention for a while I'll add my +1.

still not working :(

[hybridmuse]

This is abandonware.

[AHBruns]

Still having this error. Would downgrading to an older version fix this in the meantime?

[galvesribeiro]

This is abandonware.

Yeah, I think the same.

Dropped and started using Altair. The maintainers are very keen to help and the thing works like a charm.

[nhuesmann]

@galvesribeiro Thanks for the rec on Altair, looks like a promising alternative!
