After creating a product with a tag, I'm unable to filter by that tag immediately

Hello everyone!

I’m new to the Shopify GraphQL API. Currently, I’m trying to write tests using the library

@shopify/shopify-api

I’ve encountered some strange behavior.

For example:

  • When I try to create a product with tags (one tag) and then request all products filtered by that tag, I get no results. Only after a while does the product appear in the response.

The same situation occurs when I update a product. Immediately after the update, when I request a list of products filtered by product ID, I receive no results. After a while, the product appears.

I researched this issue and found tools/apps for Shopify that can resync data more frequently than Shopify does by default.

Here’s my code examples:

await gqlClient.request(
  `mutation CreateProduct($input: ProductInput!) {
     productCreate(input: $input) {
        userErrors {
          field
          message
        }
      }
   }`,
 {
   variables: {
     input: {
       title: 'new test product',
       tags: ['test'],
      },
    },
  },
);

const products = await gqlClient.request(
  `query ListProducts($query: String, $after: String, $before: String, $first: Int, $last: Int, $reverse: Boolean, 
   $sortKey: ProductSortKeys, $savedSearchId: ID) {
      products(query: $query, after: $after, before: $before, first: $first, last: $last, reverse: $reverse, sortKey: $sortKey, 
      savedSearchId: $savedSearchId) {
         edges {
           node {
             id, 
             productType, 
             title, 
             createdAt, 
             publishedAt,
           }
         }
        pageInfo {
          startCursor, endCursor, hasNextPage, hasPreviousPage
        }
      }
    }
  `,
  {
   variables: {
     first: 10,
     query: 'tag:"test"',
   },
  },
);
