Unable to check GraphQL query selection boxes

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

After selecting a field in Postman, the query statement is generated on the right-hand side, but the selection box is automatically unchecked. This happens not only with fields, but also with parameter selection boxes.

This results in the inability to generate multiple queries or select multiple fields.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Postman.
2. Create a new GraphQL query.
3. Use the URL address: https://graphql.anilist.co/ (or any other GraphQL URL).
4. Try to select a field.

I am unable to reproduce this issue. I'm on v10.11.1 and used the URL that you provided. I was able to create and execute a query. I also tested it in the browser and everything worked as expected

Some things to try:

• Try the GraphQL client in the browser and see if you can run a query
• Try clearing the cache and reloading the app
• Is there a VPN or AdBlocker that is enabled that might be interfering?

The only difference that I can see is that I'm on a Mac and not on a Windows computer. If you are still having problems with the new client after trying this, we can hop on a call to debug further.

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I tried clearing the cache and reloading, but the result is still the same.

Maybe I can try using my Mac later.

[JimmyRice]

Yes, you are correct. The Mac version of Postman does not seem to have encountered the same issue.

In Windows, I have tried clearing the cache and restarting the Postman client, as well as trying the web version of Postman (using Edge, Chrome, and Firefox browsers).

I also tested it on other people's computers, and they have the same issue with Postman.

Our common factor is that we are using Windows 11 as our operating system, with version number 22H2 and OS Build 22621.1265.

Thank you for the additional context and information. We're tracking this issue and actively working on fixing the bug.

A fix for this issue has been merged and will be part of Postman v10.12 and will start to roll out early next week.

[JimmyRice]

Awesome! Thank you very much for your prompt response. Can you share the reason for the issue? I am very curious why Postman behaves differently on Mac and Windows. XDDD

[SterlingChin]

Great question.

TLDR: Line Endings. Part of the parse step for figuring out the query from the editor didn't handle Windows line endings right (Windows \r\n vs. Mac \n).

[JimmyRice]

WOW

So that's how it is, everything makes sense now. Thank you for fixing it so quickly.
