Validation errors on SaveMediaListEntry mutation

[markphilpot]

I think this just started recently, but when I now pass null variables in the SaveMediaListEntry mutation I get validation errors

I'm trying to check if something changed on my client side, but my understanding was that null variable values would be ignored by the server (so the above request should only change completed)

The reason I'm uncertain is that I thought my client would not pass the variable if it was null... which is why I'm investigating on my side... but if something changed recently on the server, that would be helpful to know.

Hmm... it looks like there was an update to the graphql spec to all null values to pass to the server, so it could be that when I updated my client dependency I pulled in new behavior... (Same thing if you updated the server side graphql dependency)

Looks like there were recent changes on server sides for this :: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server/issues/2056 -- What language/library is the anilist graphql server using?

I reverted my client dependency upgrades and it's still failing, so I'm guessing it's different handling on the server? I was able to work around it with my client by initializing all mutation variables to undefined as opposed to relying on null.

Feel free to close this, as this is probably just related to the evolving graphql spec.
