Internal Error When Querying Products by Variant Metafield

[tobias1]

Dear Shopify Support,

I am encountering an internal error when attempting to query products by a variant metafield using the following GraphQL query:

{
  products: search(
    first: 10
    query: "example"
    unavailableProducts: SHOW
    productFilters: [{variantMetafield: {namespace: "custom", key: "releasemonth", value: "2022-1"}}]
  ) {
    nodes {
      ... on Product {
        id
        title
        handle
        vendor
        variants(first: 1, sortKey: RELEVANCE) {
          nodes {
            id
            title
            image {
              id
              url
              altText
              width
              height
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I am expecting to see a list of products matching the query including the variant, that matches best with the varaiant metafield productFilter. Instead I am getting an internal error:

Internal error. Looks like something went wrong on our end.
Request ID: c18c13e8-8123-4a89-9044-1afc4d32c6d1-1721938750 (include this in support requests).

Notably, this error does not occur when i choose a query value, that returns an empty result.

Any guidance on what might be causing the internal error and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Are you still seeing this error? If so can you share a recent Request ID?

Hi Liam,

thank you for your response. As a temporary solution i am currently request all variants without sortKey and filter it on the client side.

when i reintroduced the sortKey: RELEVANCE, i got an error with the following request ID:

Request ID: 66ec27a4-5ac8-4112-b111-809af04d5dfc-1722270136

Hi Tobias - I can't see much more on our logs other than the GraphqlResponder is failing - can you continue with your workaround to request all variants without sortKey and filter on the client side?
