Has anyone used AWS Appsync with Windmill?

I’m just trying to setup a basic graphql script in Windmill and can’t seem to establish a connection with my API.

This is my first time testing the native graphql option. I provide my URL and the header “x-api-key” but the test connection times out.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Maybe I am missing something obvious

Hi, we managed to connect to our AWS AppSync GraphQL api in the same way as you described.
You might get a better error if you run a native GraphQL script instead of just testing the connection, thus avoiding the timeout.
Could you try connecting using a GraphQL client (not amplify) in TypeScript?

I tried running it but it just spins trying to do something with no error/log.

I will write it in Typescipt (which I have done before when GraphQL wasn’t a supported language) and see if I have any issues or better error messages there.

I currently use Cognito for Auth and therefore I use a custom header “Authorization” instead of the “bearer_token”.

I have some resolvers that only require an API key but I can’t seem to establish a connection with either.

Not sure if I am going something wrong there?

I have tested this and it worked as expected.

import { gql, GraphQLClient } from "npm:graphql-request@6.0.0";

export async function main(
accessToken: string,
query: string,
variables: any,
) {
const endpoint =
"https://MYAPI.amazonaws.com/graphql";

const client = new GraphQLClient(endpoint);
client.setHeader("Authorization", accessToken);

const q = gql;

const res = await client.request(q, variables);

return res;
}

But when I try to use a GraphQL Resource with native GraphQL using this for the resource.

{
"base_url": "https://MYAPI.amazonaws.com/graphql",
"bearer_token": "",
"custom_headers": {
"Authorization": "MYACCESSTOKEN"
}
}

I can’t seems to connect to the API. If I test the connection it times out if I run the script with a basic query it just hangs loading and all I see is tag: graphql in the “Log & Result” section.

I have a warning that says “no worker with the tag graphql is running”

Hugo•2/3/24, 1:43 PM

You need to go to the worker settings and assign the graphql tag to one of your worker groups. Here's more details: https://www.windmill.dev/docs/core_concepts/worker_groups#how-to-assign-worker-tags-to-a-worker-group

Workers and Worker Groups | Windmill

Workers are autonomous processes that run one script at a time using the entire cpu and memory available

Yeah I found this thread. Seems to have resolved my issue! Thanks https://discord.com/channels/930051556043276338/1197942760301404191/1197948867874922677
