`get_interviews()` error

[ashwinikalantri]

The get_interviews() function randomly spits out this error. The function works when rerun. On further testing, this seems to happen on the first run of a new R session.

Could the number of interviews have anything to do with this? This was probably working fine, until the number of interviews crossed 1000.

I tried changing the chunk size, lowering it to 50 didn't resolve the issue. Increasing it to 200 seemed to have stopped the error, but only fetched 600 out of the ~1100 interviews. The function seems to be pulling only 100 interviews per chunk (chunk_size = 500 fetched 300 interviews, chunk_size = 1000 fetched 200 interviews and so on...)

interviews <- get_interviews()

Sorry for the odd and uninformative error.

A few questions to help reproduce:

• What version of Survey Solutions are you using?
• Does the same request fail, or yield strange results, with the GraphQL API directly?
• Could you share your request (e.g., which nodes)?
• What version of susoapi are you using?

Initially, I thought you were going to report this known issues, which seems to be a Survey Solutions issue. But your issue is new to me.

[ashwinikalantri]

• What version of Survey Solutions are you using? - 22.12.1
• Does the same request fail, or yield strange results, with the GraphQL API directly? - I don't think I know how to.
• Could you share your request (e.g., which nodes)? - I am using the function with default nodes.
• What version of susoapi are you using? - 0.2.0

I tried and failed to reproduce the error today on first try (on starting a new r session) and a few tries after that, but was able to reproduce after a few minutes. Very random.

The chunk size issue remains. Only 100 interviews are returned per chunk.
