Debugging actions¶
While you’re developing actions for your application, to debug faster you may want to see the exact details of the webhook call for the action as well.
To do so, start the server in debugging mode.
In the case of errors, the GraphQL response will contain debugging information
of the webhook calls in the extensions.internal field.
If you are using action transforms, then you will also see the transformed_request
inside the request field.
For example:
mutation {
create_user(email: "foo@bar.com", name: "Foo"){
id
user {
name
email
}
}
}
mutation {
create_user(email: "foo@bar.com", name: "Foo"){
id
user {
name
email
}
}
}
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "got scalar String for the action webhook response, expecting UserId",
"extensions": {
"code": "unexpected",
"path": "$",
"internal": {
"error": "got scalar String for the action webhook response, expecting UserId",
