Hasura caching issue when using remote schema and graphql mesh

What is the current behaviour?

I am working with remote-schemas for which I am using graphql-mesh and Kotlin as BE with openapi.json I created a test endpoint on Kotlin BE, for which I am sending a mutation request from Hasura. This is the request

mutation MyMutation ($input: CacheTestRequestInput_gbo) { backoffice { performCachingTest(input: $input) { ... on CacheTestResponse_gbo { __typename body } } } }

For the above request, I am sending various values on input parameters { "input":{"body":"apple1", "id":"1", "count": "ABCD"} }

And this is the response I get { "data": { "backoffice": { "performCachingTest": { "__typename": "CacheTestResponse_gbo", "body": "id=[1], body=[apple1], count=[ABCD]" } } } }

Now, if I trigger a request again, with a different body, let's say { "input":{"body":"apple20", "id":"5", "count": "ABCD"} } I still get the previous response. However, if I try to send the request later (let's say after 1-2 minutes), I get the correct payload.

It is not a Kotlin BE issue, it is not a graphql mesh issue. Why I do say that? Because I tried to send request straight to graphql mesh avoiding it to pass through Hasura, and I have no issue if I do it like that. I suspect is some Hasura caching issue I am not aware of.

What is the expected behaviour?

Expected behaviour is that no mater what values I send for input parameters, and no mater how quickly I send the request, I want to be able to obtain request:response, so a match 1:1. If I send apple1, to receive as response apple1. If I send HelloWorld133 to receive as response HelloWorld133 and not apple1 (previous request response)

How to reproduce the issue?

1. Create a BE endpoint (Kotlin or whatever BE you want)
2. Use openapi.json for schema
3. create a graphql-mesh server to serve the requests
4. configureHasura remote-schema
5. trigger the mutation request

Screenshots or Screencast

Trial 1: I get correct response Trial 2: Changing body, and getting same response

Please provide any traces or logs that could help here.

hasura request to remote schema sends wrong payload but it works properly if I avoid sending request through Hasura

Changed OpenAPI and used a public one which I integrated in graphql mesh https://petstore.swagger.io/

This is how mesh file looks like

COPY <<EOF .meshrc.yaml
sources:
  - name: Backoffice
    handler:
      openapi:
        source: https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
        endpoint: https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/
    transforms:
      - namingConvention:
          mode: wrap
          typeNames: pascalCase
          enumValues: constantCase
          fieldNames: camelCase
          fieldArgumentNames: camelCase
serve:
  hostname: 0.0.0.0
EOF

Still caching issue here as well

However, if there are no query variables, then no caching issue. Confirmed on both examples

Update: This seem to happen only if I am using namespace on graphql customization, when adding suffix or prefix. For some reason, variable names in Hasura seem do not match entirely with the ones from remote-schema when using prefix/suffix

Hey @claudiuman

I read your case. To repro, I tested a mutation on my remote schema (which happens to be another Hasura project in my case), and I can see the results being returned as expected.

Some inputs needed from your end.

• Have you verified w/o Hasura, like sending requests to your original BE w/o Hasura involved and check the responses ? That would make sure that the issue roots from somewhere from BE.
• Also, Hasura does not cache any result from mutation. Acc to this doc, it only caches result in case if operation is query and it has cached directive. Are you facing this issue in mutation or in queries as well ?

Hi @meetzaveri. Thank you for your answer!

Just a question before: Did you added suffix/prefix on the mutation types? Because it happens only in this case

I have verified Hasura with other open source graphql remote schema as well (thinking it is a BE issue on our side). Also facing this issue when adding suffix/prefix on remote schema types. I was also checking without Hasura, sending the request straight to BE, and it works this way! I was also using Yoga Graphql instead of Hasura, and still no issue there as well!

It happens only on mutations, and only when we have added suffix. If we are not setting any suffix/prefix, then it works great! (We need this suffix/prefix feature to work in order to not modify the code on type names)

Hi there! Any news on this issue?
