Refetch does not trigger subscribe

This is a question/possible bug about the refetch method documented here.

I noticed that refetch returns a promise that resolves the new data. However, I had expected that a subscription on the original query would be triggered when refetch is called. This is not the case, eg:

ngOnInit() {
  this.query = this.apollo.watchQuery({query: TestQuery});
  this.query.subscribe(({data}) => {
    console.log(data);
  });
}

refetch() {
  this.query.refetch();
}

I would expect the subscribe callback to be triggered again after refetch is executed. Could someone clarify why this does not happen?

Thanks

@kamilkisiela I debugged it and I think I found the issue - it’s in Apollo Client and not in Apollo Angular. I created a bug over there: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/3235

I also have the same problem. How about reopening the issue?

(also when using the code snippet from @conor-mac-aoidh) The angular apollo docs don’t really explain refetch. They only mention the method without it’s workings as far as I can tell at least. 😉
