WordPress settings can't be queried?

[jasonbahl]

It appears there is some sort of regression with settings from WordPress.

Trying to query:

{
  wp {
    generalSettings {
      title
    }
  }
}

Doesn't work. It says that a databaseId and uri are required input for querying the wp field.

Also having this issue

Gatsby
"gatsby-source-wordpress-experimental": "^7.0.6"

Wordpress 5.4.4
 "wp-graphql/wp-graphql-acf": "^0.4.0",
 "wp-graphql/wp-graphql": "1.1.3",

@jonlow apologies for the delay here - I'm investigating this now. In the meantime if you're still running into this issue you can get around it by querying for allWp instead and using the only node it returns:

{
  allWp {
    nodes {
      allSettings {
        discussionSettingsDefaultCommentStatus
      }
    }
  }
}

allWp.nodes[0].allSettings.discussionSettingsDefaultCommentStatus

[jasonbahl]

@TylerBarnes curious why settings are considered nodes in Gatsby? Possibly that's the bug? The settings objects don't implement the Node interface. . .this seems like a bug to me. I wouldn't expect to query settings as a node

[TylerBarnes]

Everything is a node in Gatsby so this is required. When we eventually add support for multiple instances of the plugin you'll want to be able to select which site you want to get settings from too 👍

[TylerBarnes]

{
  wp(url: "http://mysite.com/graphql") {
   stuffs
  }
}

[jasonbahl]

@TylerBarnes ah, interesting. Since settings objects don't have an ID, they don't follow the node spec.

But I suppose if you are identifying them by the origin endpoint, they might indeed have a unique identifier. 🤔

[TylerBarnes]

They do have an id :) it's the site url - I set it when I create each node.

[TylerBarnes]

It seems the problem here is the plugin is somehow adding the input args from another node type. I'm not sure why yet but I'll get to the bottom of it soon

[jasonbahl]

Ah, ya, since that's a departure from WPGraphQL, that should probably be documented then. Is that why we weren't able to query them individually then? Do we need to query:

{
  wp(url: { eq: { "mysite.com/graphql" }} ) {
    ...settings
  }
}

[TylerBarnes]

It's undocumented right now because the plugin only supports a single instance. Using { wp { ...settings } } works right now because there can only ever be 1 Wp node. Your example will be in the docs in the future but it will still break right now actually. It seems some other interface input args are somehow being applied so that databaseId and uri are required which doesn't make sense.

[TylerBarnes]

@jasonbahl @jonlow the reason is you both have types in your WPGQL schema named "Filter" and Gatsby has a bug where it then uses fields from this type to create input filter arguments for other node types resulting in broken queries.

[jasonbahl]

@TylerBarnes interesting. In my case this is the filters post type for documenting WPGraphQL filters: https://www.wpgraphql.com/filters/
