Howtographql: Error: Argument id for data.postedBy.connect.id must not be null. Please use undefined instead.

Hi!

I'm attempting to run the two GraphQL mutations specified at the end of the this article: https://www.howtographql.com/react-apollo/1-getting-started/, but after following every step in the above, I'm getting this error that Googling has turned up blank for.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

I'm experiencing the same issue.

I was able to get them to run by signing up and logging in.

To sign up (fill in your email, password, and name):

mutation SignUp {
    signup(
        email: ""
        password: ""
        name: ""
    ) {
        token
    }
}

Take that token and put it into the HTTP Headers section at the bottom like:

{
    "authorization": "Bearer <paste token here>"
}

I did what @nataliegirard said but when I put the authorization on HTTP header I got server error 500, if I delete from the HTTP header the server come back instantly but with the very same first error.

any suggestions?

I found the issue, I forget to delete the "<" and ">" from the token, now it works properly, thank you.
