Apollo Server ALWAYS returns 404 when queried from node.js

“apollo-server”: “^2.9.7”,

When querying my Apollo Server from Node.js I always receive 404 response with no further information. The Postman and curl works fine. I tried all possible options and nothing seems to work. As a result I cannot download introspection queries and my VSCODE plugins do not work.

This is my server code:

export function start(port = '4000') {
  const server = new ApolloServer({
    schema,
    cors: {
      origin: '*',
      methods: 'GET,HEAD,POST'
    },
    context: req => initContext(req)
  });

  server.listen({ port }).then(() => console.log('Server is running on localhost:4000'));
}

This is WORKING curl query:

curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/graphql \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "query Roles { roles { description } }"}'

This is NOT working from node.js

const { createApolloFetch } = require('apollo-fetch');

const fetch = createApolloFetch({
  uri: 'http://127.0.0.1:4000'
});

fetch.useAfter(({ response }, next) => {
  console.log(response); // <--- WILL BE 404
  next();
});

fetch({
  query: 'query Roles { roles { description } }'
})
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

I also encountered something like this, where sending a request to my Next.js graphql endpoint responded correctly in the terminal with curl (and also when run with Next.js) but not when called in my node unit tests by jest.

Turns out my problem came from here (more specifically, here). For various reasons, the url of my request object didn’t end up being equal to the this.graphqlPath that it was expecting. Ensuring url was set properly fixed everything 😃

@abernix thanks for your reply, although there is no need to be condescending. I did try spectrum. No response there for few days.

Moreover the examples you are showing … if I understand it right do the query to server from the browser (alas your request for a demo in code sandbox).

As I mentioned in my description I am trying to query the server from a node.js environment. So you need to run my query example from node. I tried with 2 machines with the same result. My package.json contains only Apollo-server and Apollo-fetch packages.

I’ll prepare a repo for it and test on more machines.
