Main issue: A developer saw validations{ nodes { id title } } return an empty array in the GraphQL Admin API (2024-04), even though a specific validation could be fetched directly by ID.
Root cause: The validations query is scoped to the current app. It only returns validations created by the app making the request, not all validations present in the store.
Resolution: Once the app-scoped behavior was understood, the empty result made sense because existing validations were created by a different partner app. No API issue was involved.
Implications: To list validations, ensure they were created by the same app (or query by ID for that app’s own validations). Store-wide enumeration of validations from other apps isn’t supported via this field.
Status: Resolved; no further action required.
I have 1 validation in my store that I am able to query directly by querying for the ID. But the validations query always returns an empty array.
{
validations(first: 10) {
nodes {
id
title
}
}
}
This is with the GraphQL Admin API v 2024-04.
Anyone else have issues with validations? Am I missing something?
Solved, I was thinking that it would query any validation in the store, but it’s specific to the current app. The only validations in the store were created by a different partner app which is why it was returning empty.
