For debugging and testing, install either:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/apollo-developer-tools/ (Firefox)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apollo-client-developer-t/jdkknkkbebbapilgoeccciglkfbmbnfm (Chrome)

Rename .env.example to .env so the Apollo debugger will correctly load. It will not load if the NODE_ENV variable is not correctly set.

The WooCommerce sample products CSV file is available at wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/sample-data/sample_products.csv or Sample products

Check that you are using the 0.6.2 version of the wp-graphql-woocommerce plugin
