Oh that's curious. A reproducer would help. Could you share the headers of that request you have on screen @cshrivastav007 ?

[cshrivastav007]

If you need to verify the operation name header, note that the X-APOLLO-OPERATION-NAME header is no longer available in Apollo version 4.

[cshrivastav007]

The last Apollo version we were using is 3.8.4 which used to have the operation name in header.

If you need to verify the operation name header, note that the X-APOLLO-OPERATION-NAME header is no longer available in Apollo version 4.

Are there no other headers where this information is available?

[cshrivastav007]

No, I believe it should be added via an interceptor by the host app (from Apollo4). For Chucker, instead of relying on the header, it would be more efficient to set the graphQlOperationName using request.operation.name()

[cortinico]

using request.operation.name()

Chucker doesn't have access to that method though as we don't know if the user has the Apollo library installed or not. So we'll have to either inspect the body or the headers of the request

Ah, I see. Since it's not an Apollo Interceptor, it seems the only option is to retrieve the operation name from the decoded body content, right? 🤔

Yeah if there are no other headers, seems like that the preferred way
