fetchPolicy: 'network-only' being ignored

I’m trying to use watchQuery with ‘netwok-only’ fetchPolicy and pollInterval, as a result the following output

Error: Queries that specify the cache-first and cache-only fetchPolicies cannot also be polling queries.

let options:any = {
            query: gql `...`,
            fetchPolicy: 'network-only',
        };
        this.feedRef = this.apollo.watchQuery(options);
        console.log('queryRef: ',  this.feedRef)

I have even put this mode in the default settings,

this.apollo.create({
      link: middleware ? errorLink.concat(middleware) : errorLink.concat(this.link),
      cache: this.cache,
      ssrMode: true,
      defaultOptions: {
        watchQuery: {
          fetchPolicy: 'network-only'
        }
      }
    });

in the package.json …

"apollo-angular": "1.0.1",
    "apollo-angular-link-http": "1.0.2-beta.0",
    "apollo-cache-inmemory": "1.1.11",
    "apollo-cache-persist": "0.1.1",
    "apollo-client": "2.2.7",
    "apollo-client-rxjs": "^0.6.0-rc.2",
    "apollo-link": "1.2.1",
    "apollo-link-context": "1.0.7",
    "apollo-link-error": "1.0.7",
    "apollo-link-http": "1.5.3",
    "graphql": "0.13.2",
    "graphql-tag": "2.8.0",

Anyone knows what I’m missing up? Thanks

Do you use SSR mode?

Try using setting the ssrForceFetchDelay option to a non-zero value, say 500. This should undo the forced “cache-only” policy as per this code: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/blob/337314111bc75e17834d0dfb6af461b921276dd2/packages/apollo-client/src/ApolloClient.ts#L127-L132

    if (ssrForceFetchDelay) {
      setTimeout(
        () => (this.disableNetworkFetches = false),
        ssrForceFetchDelay,
      );
    }
