Query Export, output is not usable #180

Closed jxmot closed 3 years ago

jxmot commented 3 years ago

GraphiQL Version: 0.7.2 OS: Windows 10 (latest)

The "Export Query" menu function does not produce anything that is usable. For example:

Initial Query (formatted as in in the query tab) :

{
  user(login: "someuser") {
    name
    isHireable
    login
  }
}

Export Output:

{
  "query": "{\n  user(login: \"someuser\") {\n    name\n    isHireable\n    login\n  }\n}\n"
}

The output serves no purpose in it current format. It appears that this functionality was introduced in the pull request titled Export query for POST body #106. To be made usable it requires hand editing to fix the escaped newlines.

Bug Work-Around: Select and copy the text directly from the query tab. Paste into a file and save. To import open the text file and pasted its contents directly into the query tab.

The export format is usable. You can POST what it gives use using Postman, or JavaScript.
