Thanks for raising an issue, a ticket has been created to track your request
We have run into same problem. We attempted to use null/undefined for the idempotencyKey
parameter but that fails as it seems to be casting the value to a string regardless of what is passed in.
At first, I tried to proactively fix this issue, as I thought it was a small bug. The specific solution is mentioned in https://github.com/XeroAPI/xero-node/pull/651.
After analyzing the code, I discovered that the root cause of this issue is:
At first, I thought that root cause 1 would be relatively easy to fix. If we were to directly modify the code of the node version, it would be simple (though not advisable), just like how I fixed it in the closed PR: https://github.com/XeroAPI/xero-node/pull/651. All we need to do is:
localVarHeaderParams['Idempotency-Key'] = ObjectSerializer.serialize(idempotencyKey, "string");
just change it to the following:
if( idempotencyKey ){
localVarHeaderParams['Idempotency-Key'] = ObjectSerializer.serialize(idempotencyKey, "string");
}
However, upon closer examination of the code, I realized that it was generated using openApi generator, which complicated things.
I attempted to achieve this by modifying the definition of idempotencyKey in the main project, located at https://github.com/XeroAPI/Xero-OpenAPI.
Definition in version 4.36.0:
idempotencyKey:
in: header
name: Idempotency-Key
x-snake: idempotency_key
description: This allows you to safely retry requests without the risk of duplicate processing. 128 character max.
example: "KEY_VALUE"
schema:
type: string
But no matter whether I try to add nullable as false or true, I can't make the generated code change.
if( idempotencyKey ){
localVarHeaderParams['Idempotency-Key'] = ObjectSerializer.serialize(idempotencyKey, "string");
}
I realized that it is impossible to achieve this by modifying the definition of the YAML file, and it may require modifying some template files mustache.
Therefore, my suggestion is to fix the backend API of Xero so that the 'Idempotency-Key' in the http header can still function properly even if it is null/undefined. This can be resolved without having to upgrade the version of xero-node SDK, which will solve rootCause 1.
In the xero-node SDK, some methods have added an optional parameter called 'idempotencyKey,' which disrupts the calling code of the original SDK, such as the updateOrCreateInvoices function.
The updateOrCreateInvoices method in version 4.35.0 supports five parameters, which are as follows:
updateOrCreateInvoices (xeroTenantId: string, invoices: Invoices, summarizeErrors?: boolean, unitdp?: number, options: {headers: {[name: string]: string}} = {headers: {}})
The method for version 4.36.0 has been changed to:
updateOrCreateInvoices (xeroTenantId: string, invoices: Invoices, idempotencyKey?: string, summarizeErrors?: boolean, unitdp?: number, options: {headers: {[name: string]: string}} = {headers: {}})
This causes the calling method of version 4.35.0 to recognize "summarizeErrors" as "idempotencyKey" in version 4.36.0. This results in a breaking change.
Since this code is generated by the OpenAPI generator, we need you to consider whether the current way of calling optional parameters is appropriate and if it needs to be changed in the next version.
updateOrCreateInvoices (xeroTenantId: string, config: {
invoices: Invoices;
idempotencyKey?: string;
summarizeErrors?: boolean;
unitdp?: number;
}, options: {headers: {[name: string]: string}} = {headers: {}})
The order and number of parameters like this will not cause a break change.

I just fix this issue manually updated the code in https://github.com/madison890000/xero-node.
Here is the npm link I published: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fix-xero-node.
You can use it by replacing
"xero-node": "4.35.0"
to
"fix-xero-node": "4.36.1"
to upgrading you dependencies of xero-node from 4.35.0 to 4.36.0.
idempotencyKey
if you don't want to. and it will ignore it as well if it is set to be null/undefined.If the official updates to a new version and fixes this bug, you can switch back 'xero-node' again.
I have a similar issue when using createInvoiceAttachmentByFileName
, it now randomly fails with Idempotency Key: [object Object] is used with a different request.
.
I assume it tries to serialize the latest options object as a string and using it as idempotency key in the request. First request succeeds because it's using [object Object]
as idempotency key.
I'm using the same options as the sample from the README for this function, with latest release 4.36.0: https://github.com/XeroAPI/xero-node#accounting-api
I will try to downgrade for now until this is fixed.
Thanks!

This is the definition of createInvoiceAttachmentByFileName
.
public async createInvoiceAttachmentByFileName (xeroTenantId: string, invoiceID: string, fileName: string, body: fs.ReadStream, idempotencyKey?: string, includeOnline?: boolean, options: {headers: {[name: string]: string}} = {headers: {}}) : Promise<{ response: http.IncomingMessage; body: Attachments; }> {
const localVarPath = this.basePath + '/Invoices/{InvoiceID}/Attachments/{FileName}'
...
The example in readme is incorrect. You need change to blow to make it works in 4.36.0.
const accountAttachmentsResponse = await xero.accountingApi.createInvoiceAttachmentByFileName(activeTenantId, invoiceId, filename, readStream,idempotencyKey,true, {
headers: {
'Content-Type': contentType
}
});

Thanks for the info, we will use TS for this part of our code in the future that will avoid future issues like that with Xero.
The problems is see here:
I guess that I will need to be more careful with Xero updates in the future 😬

The problems is see here:
- Why breaking changes were introduced as a minor version release?
- Why the docs / samples are not up to date for that release.

Yeah, and I don't know why.
if you are have issues when you trying to upgrade from 4.35.0 to 4.36.0 to avoid breaking changes, you can try this: https://github.com/XeroAPI/xero-node/issues/649#issuecomment-1742613821
Hi all, Apologies for the delay. We have fixed the idempotency_key parameter issue in the SDK version 5.0.0.
The idempotency_key is now the last optional parameter in the method definitions Latest release also includes other changes (check out the release notes for details).
Do revert back to us if you are still facing any issues.
Thank you for your patience!
SDK you're using (please complete the following information): xero-node Version 4.36.0
Describe the bug Code which was currently working with version 4.35.0 of xero-node and which is using existing parameters such as
summarizeErrors
will now stop working (as I experienced today). Many accounting api call signatures (and possible other apis too) have been changed in 4.36.0. The new "optional"idempotencyKey
parameter has sometimes been inserted in front of existing parametersFor example with https://xeroapi.github.io/xero-node/accounting/index.html#api-Accounting-updateOrCreateInvoices the
idempotencyKey
parameter has, in v4.36.0, been inserted in front ot thesummarizeErrors
parameterTo Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Install version 4.35.0 xero-node Create a simple call as per 4.35.0 docs (without
idempotencyKey
parameter) to update invoices along the lines of:Once working, then upgrade to xero-node version 4.36.0
Your api call now fails with
Expected behavior The sequence of the call parameters for the accounting api must remain consistent. Any new parameters to existing api interface calls - such as
idempotencyKey
- must be added to the end of the parameter list, so that existing parameters/code remains unaffected. In version 4.36.0 the idempotencyKey parameter has sometimes been added to the end, sometimes in the middle of existing parameters of the various accounting api calls
