TypeError: _super.call is not a function #2785

swyxio · 2017-12-27T10:53:01Z

Intended outcome:
Trying to get the basic react + apollo setup from the docs going

Actual outcome:
opaque error saying TypeError: _super.call is not a function. Full stack trace is here:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: _super.call is not a function

How to reproduce the issue:
just following the docs at https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/basics/setup.html

import { ApolloClient } from "apollo-client";
import { HttpLink } from "apollo-link-http";
import { InMemoryCache } from "apollo-cache-inmemory";
import gql from "graphql-tag";
const client = new ApolloClient({
  link: new HttpLink({ uri: "https://q80vw8qjp.lp.gql.zone/graphql" }),
  cache: new InMemoryCache()
});
client
  .query({query: gql`{hello}`})
  .then(console.log);

i see related issues here and here but nobody seems to have filed it in this repo yet so here i am doing it.

Version

apollo-client@2.1.0

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

swyxio · 2017-12-27T11:26:56Z

something i am discovering is that this only works with create-react-app. i was working with my own parcel.js setup and others are working with webpack and facing this issue. anyone have ideas why this is?

kaseyreed · 2017-12-27T19:58:08Z

I am also experiencing this issue in a non-react app. Still Investigating ...

StackTrace on apollo-client@2.1.0.

Uncaught TypeError: _super.call is not a function
    at new ObservableQuery (ObservableQuery.js:36)
    at QueryManager.watchQuery (QueryManager.js:394)

I'm using BatchHttpLink and the InMemoryCache. The latter is being hydrated from the server-side. At first glance, thinking this may be a transpiliation issue with Apollo Client ...

Debugging and breaking at the specific line has this:

var _this = _super.call(this, function (observer) {
            return _this.onSubscribe(observer);
        }) || this;

where _super is the constructor for Observable

deden · 2017-12-28T11:54:23Z

Following apollo-link issue #248 , my workaround is by changing node_modules/apollo-link/lib/index.js:3 from:

import * as Observable from 'zen-observable';

to:

import Observable from 'zen-observable';

emmenko · 2018-01-03T14:11:32Z

something i am discovering is that this only works with create-react-app. i was working with my own parcel.js setup

Same facing problem. It works with CRA but as I was trying it out with parcel it breaks.

badenkov · 2018-01-03T14:24:16Z

I'm using parcel-bundler and facing the same problem. I noticed it works fine with parcel-bundler = 1.2.1, and doesn't for parcel-bundler >= 1.3.0.

swyxio · 2018-01-03T18:33:01Z

so at this point i think its clear we have some symptoms but no idea as to the cause. is it a rollup issue or is it a parcel issue?

emmenko · 2018-01-03T21:03:04Z

I noticed it works fine with parcel-bundler = 1.2.1, and doesn't for parcel-bundler >= 1.3.0.

Correct, I just tried with version 1.2.1 of parcel-bundler and it works.

If it's a parcel issue I guess we should move the issue over there.

emmenko · 2018-01-03T21:22:57Z

Might this be related to this issue? --> parcel-bundler/parcel#418

rpadovani · 2018-01-09T17:05:57Z

I have the same problem with rollup

Amit-A · 2018-01-09T20:36:35Z

Same issue here; comes up in non-react environments

longuniquename · 2018-01-17T14:26:56Z

HI! Any progress with this? apollo-client@2.2.0, same issue.

swyxio · 2018-01-18T06:52:18Z

as far as I am concerned this is wholly a parcel-bundler issue. i have not yet encountered this in webpack or other setups. please comment if you are facing this but NOT with parcel-bundler. we dont want to blame the wrong folks for the problem.z

EDIT: ok webpack fix is below but parcel has no fix. please no more +1's I am muting this

Amit-A · 2018-01-18T15:01:35Z

Adding this string replace loader to my webpack config fixed the problem for me:

...
module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /node_modules\/apollo-link.*?\/lib\/.*?.js/,
        loader: 'string-replace-loader',
        options: {
          search: 'exports.Observable = Observable',
          replace: 'exports.Observable = Observable.default'
        }
      },
...

Amit-A · 2018-01-18T15:03:23Z

@sw-yx I faced the problem in webpack

longuniquename · 2018-01-19T09:00:57Z

@sw-yx webpack setup, ejected from react 16.

kinyat · 2018-01-19T15:17:20Z

@sw-yx No parcel-bundler to me. The issue is that I am using babel not typescript and the js version of apollo-link is using the wrong import (From babel point of view). I suggest apollo to provide a compiled ES5 version from the ts complier to resolve this issue.

I am getting this in webpack also. It's a customised webpack config originally ejected from create-react-app; it is largely still vanilla. I tried the workaround with string-replace-loader but this did not work for me, although I get a slightly different error now:

chucksellick · 2018-02-20T17:51:34Z

I finally worked around it by adding the following to my babel rule in webpack config to exclude all apollo-* libraries from being processed:

                        exclude: [
                            pathUtil.resolve(paths.appNodeModules, "apollo-")
                        ],

stefanoTron · 2018-02-21T08:31:27Z

apollo-link has been updated to 1.2.0, give it a shot.

stevestreza · 2018-02-22T01:20:30Z

As I noted in apollographql/apollo-link#248, the underlying issue is fixed in apollo-link, but when installing using yarn, there is an issue, which you can see in the test project that was attached to that issue.

When I use npm install to install the dependencies, it loads apollo-link 1.2.0 without any change from apollo-client. This works great and the reported issue no longer happens. (You have to manually install graphql-tag and remove the braces in the import in src/client/index.js to verify this)
When I use yarn install, it installs version apollo-link 1.0.0. When I yarn add apollo-link to explicitly install 1.2.0, the version in node_modules/apollo-link becomes 1.2.0, but another version of apollo-link 1.0.0 is installed at node_modules/apollo-client/node_modules/apollo-link.

I'm past my knowledge at this point on how yarn works to fix this (I would expect it to have installed apollo-link 1.2.0, not 1.0.0). I would guess that the "right" fix is to require apollo-link 1.2.0 in the package.json for apollo-client.

If anyone is still encountering this issue with a modern version of Apollo Client, please let us know. Thanks!

victors1681 · 2019-06-07T21:01:57Z

I was trying to refactor ApolloClient setup moving the instantiation of new ApolloClient() to a separate file called apollo-client.js for some weird reason it was causing this problem after rename the file to apolloClient.js started working fine. I can't believe it..
