Hi. We’re having some issues with content not updating on our site and it looks like it might be query caching on the GQL API.
I have a simple recreation. I created a query in the CDA Explorer:
query MyQuery($id: ItemId) {
documentationPage(filter: {id: {eq: $id}}) {
id
title
_updatedAt
}
}
and executed it with ‘Include draft records’ enabled. It returned the data as expected. I then updated the record in the CMS to add ‘Test’ to the title and saved it (but didn’t publish). When re-executing the query I still see the old title in the response, and the _updatedAt date hasn’t changed.
In the CMS I see the last updated time as 12:37:
The data returned includes "_updatedAt": "2023-04-17T12:34:31+01:00" from the 1st change.
Editing the query in any way returns the correct data, which is why I suspected caching.
Response headers for the query that doesn’t work, in case they are useful:
