apolloClient.mutate variables not working

See original GitHub issue

Intended outcome: Variable merged into the mutation

Actual outcome: Status: 400 error with variable, and the mutation works when hard-coding the value in the mutation:

 sendMsgNotWork() {
      apolloClient.mutate({
        variables: { text: "hello" },
        mutation: gql`
          mutation {
            addComment(text: $text) {
              id
              text
            }
          }
        `,
        
      })
      .then(result => { console.log(result) })
      .catch(error => { console.log(error) });
    },

    sendMsgWorks() {
      apolloClient.mutate({
        variables: { text: "hello" },
        mutation: gql`
          mutation {
            addComment(text: "Hello") {
              id
              text
            }
          }
        `,
        
      })
      .then(result => { console.log(result) })
      .catch(error => { console.log(error) });
    }

I tried your example project, this seems to work fine:

apolloClient.mutate({
  variables: { text: "hello" },
  mutation: gql`
    mutation AddComment($text: String!){
      addComment(text: $text) {
        id
        text
      }
    }
  `,
  
})
.then(result => { console.log(result) })
.catch(error => { console.log(error) });
