inventory_policy parameter is ignored in graphql query

inventory_policy parameter is ignored in graphql query

I am running a query, looking for all variants that have 0 or less in stock and have CONTINUE as its inventory policy.

The query is tested and works in all ways but the ignored query.

It does filter by inventory_quantity correctly, but ignores the second query, returning variants both with inventory_policy CONTINUE, and DENY.

I've tried using CONTINUE, continue, or Continue.
I've tried setting the parameter as inventoryPolicy instead of inventory_policy.
I've tried removing the quantity parameter, only querying "inventory_policy:CONTINUE".
The query does return the inventoryPolicy, and its content is either "DENY" or "CONTINUE"

{
productVariants(
	first: 100
	query: "inventory_policy:CONTINUE AND inventory_quantity:<=0"
) {
	nodes {
		inventoryPolicy
		product {
			title
		}
		title
	}
}
}

Hi Benjamin,

 

Your GraphQL query seems correct in its structure. The productVariants query with the query parameter is the right way to filter product variants based on certain conditions. However, there are a few things to consider:

  1. Exact Match: The query parameter in Shopify's GraphQL API uses a search syntax similar to the one used in the Shopify admin. It's possible that the inventory_policy field doesn't support exact matching in the way you're attempting.

  2. Alternative Approach: If the direct query doesn't work as expected, you might need to fetch the variants based on one condition (e.g., inventory_quantity:<=0) and then filter the results on your server or client side to get only those with inventoryPolicy set to CONTINUE.

  3. Testing: Use tools like Shopify's GraphiQL app to test your queries. This tool provides real-time feedback and auto-suggestions, which can help identify issues.

Hope this helps!
