Http request error, no response available: GraphQL Client: fetch failed

[watislaf]

Hi. Absolutely randomly i am getting this error when executing graphql queries.

This can happen spontaniously 1 time in 30 minutes of testing .

export async function getShopInfoQuery(admin: AdminApiContext) {
  const response = await admin.graphql(`#graphql
  query getShop {
    shop {
      id
      contactEmail
      name
      primaryDomain {
        host
      }
    }
  }
  `)

  const responseJson = await response.json()
  return responseJson?.data?.shop
}

This is query request. Nothing unusual . It works perfectly 99% of time.

I have been trying to check if this is an issue of too many requests - but it is not, too may requests creates another error and i am way beyond too many requests.

I am using same versions as : https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-app-template-remix/blob/main/package.json

I aslo tried to send 100 requests and check if there will be an error - no error at all, only sometimes spontaniously : /

Hi, my solution to this was to wrap every shopify request into try catch and repeat . It is a workaround of an issue but it worked

Hi there 👋

The fetch failed error is what you will get when the underlying fetch request does not get a response/ throws an error. This could be due to a variety of issue like timeouts or network connectivity issue. Unfortunately things like this may happen from time to time.

Your solution to try catch, and retry the error is one option for handling these types of scenarios. But we do have a library feature that should automatically retry the request for you if this type of error happens. You will need to specify that the request should be, and is safe to be retried.

  const response = await graphql(
    `#graphql
      mutation populateProduct($product: ProductCreateInput!) {
        productCreate(product: $product) {
          product {
            id
            variants(first: 10) {
              edges {
                node {
                  id
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }`,
    {
      variables: {
        product: {
          title: `${color} Snowboard`,
        },
      },
+   tries: 2,
    },
  );
