To Reproduce

import { createApp } from "vue"
import App from "./App.vue"
import store from "./store"

import { ApolloClient, HttpLink, InMemoryCache } from "@apollo/client/core"

import { split } from "@apollo/client/core"
import { WebSocketLink } from "@apollo/client/link/ws"
import { getMainDefinition } from "@apollo/client/utilities"
import { createApolloProvider } from "@vue/apollo-option"
import { useQuery } from "@vue/apollo-composable"

interface Definintion {
  kind: string
  operation?: string
}

const httpLink = new HttpLink({
  // You should use an absolute URL here
  uri: "http://localhost:3020/graphql",
})

// Create the subscription websocket link
const wsLink = new WebSocketLink({
  uri: "ws://localhost:3000/subscriptions",
  options: {
    reconnect: true,
  },
})

// using the ability to split links, you can send data to each link
// depending on what kind of operation is being sent
const link = split(
  // split based on operation type
  ({ query }) => {
    const { kind, operation }: Definintion = getMainDefinition(query)
    return kind === "OperationDefinition" && operation === "subscription"
  },
  wsLink,
  httpLink
)

// Create the apollo client
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
  link,
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
  connectToDevTools: true,
})

const apolloProvider = createApolloProvider({
  defaultClient: apolloClient,
})

createApp(App).use(store).use(apolloProvider).mount("#app")

console.log(useQuery)

console log are simplest repdoruction, but any useQuery or other doesn't work

Fixed with downgrading @vue/apollo-composable to ^4.0.0-alpha.13 , please update docs, it's quite hard to figure all in vue apollo 4

Anyway before I close case it's only way to use apollo in both ways?

//// apollo provider
import {
  ApolloClient,
  InMemoryCache,
  HttpLink,
} from "@apollo/client/core"
import { createApolloProvider } from "@vue/apollo-option"

//...

const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
  link,
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
})

const apolloProvider = createApolloProvider({
  defaultClient: apolloClient,
})

export { apolloProvider, apolloClient }


//// main.ts
//...
import { apolloClient, apolloProvider } from "./configuration/apollo"
//..

const app = createApp({
  setup() {
    provide(DefaultApolloClient, apolloClient)
  },
  render: (h) => h(App),
})

app.use(apolloProvider)
app.mount("#app")

I mean queries in component load with Options API and use Composition API

[vladninja]

I am currently using @vue/apollo-composable ^4.0.0-alpha.12 and have the same error.
What you mean about downgrading to @xxSkyy ?
^4.0.0-alpha.13 it's the latest version of this package.

P.S I am using Vue 2 with composition API

[tobiasdiez]

I also got this after upgrading 4.0.0-alpha.12 to 4.0.0-alpha.13. Downgrading again fixed it. (Also using it with Vue 2 composition api)

[xxSkyy]

I'm on Vue 3, I had "@vue/apollo-composable": "^4.0.0-alpha.13", installed, downgraded to "@vue/apollo-composable": "^4.0.0-alpha.12", and problems disappeared.

const resolvedClient = providedApolloClients ? providedApolloClients.default : providedApolloClient ?? void 0;

This is valid JS. Maybe update your tooling such as babel parser?

[vladninja]

Yeah, I am also freezing a version to "@vue/apollo-composable": "^4.0.0-alpha.12" and this issue gone.
Thanks guys!

I did try it on a fresh install from vue ui as on the current project I'm upgrading to vue3. Both same error.

[Akryum]

I don't have this issue here

[xxSkyy]

I don't have this issue here

I did brew upgrade, yarn upgrade, still same error. Idk. maybe its due apple m1 chip

[tobiasdiez]

In my case, it was indeed a babel configuration issue. The nullish coalescing operator is not supported by webpack 4, so the @vue/apollo-composable module needs to be transpiled with babel before it is loaded. For Nuxt, you simply add @vue/apollo-composable to build.transpile and make sure that @babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator is applied. See JabRef/JabRefOnline@0de8d3e for details. The important part is that the above babel plugin is applied, so there should be straightforward solutions for other build tools too.

[Akryum]

My link above is using webpack 4 without issue.

Note that @babel/plugin-proposal-nullish-coalescing-operator is included in @babel/preset-env so there is no need to install it (you are most probably using babel preset env already). Docs

[Akryum]

Where is the original error coming from? The babel parser? An internal webpack file? Is the stack trace in full here?

[vladninja]

@Akryum I am using @vue/cli-plugin-babel/preset

Yeah, it's a full stack trace.

It's an error from the bitbucket pipeline.

[Akryum]

Seems like acorn is the culprit, webpack 4 is using acorn 6 and nullish coalescing operator support was added in acorn 7

[Akryum]

Will probably lower the esbuild target to what acorn 6 understands.

[Akryum]

In the meantime, another possible workaround is upgrading to Webpack 5.

@Akryum

In the meantime, another possible workaround is upgrading to Webpack 5.

another fix from me - I am migration vue2 app to vue3 that was running made with vue cli,
I re-created whole project with vite , manually installed dependencies being sure every of them works with vue3 and since then alpha13 works perfectly fine.
Struggling with webpack&vue with vue3 + typescript are hella problem, whole transition to usable state took me max 2 hours, I've spent much more on fixing problems with vue3 on vue cli version

[leggettc18]

I have this error and none of the fixes here have helped me. Except for me the error only occurs when inside a docker container

Dockerfile

FROM node:16.3.0-alpine as base
WORKDIR /client
COPY package*.json ./
RUN yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn cache clean --force
FROM base as dev
ENV NODE_ENV=development
ENV PATH /client/node_modules/.bin:$PATH
EXPOSE 3000
RUN mkdir /client/app
RUN yarn install --only=development && yarn cache clean --force
RUN yarn config list
WORKDIR /client/app
COPY package.json .
CMD ["yarn", "serve"]

[leggettc18]

Nevermind, I got my issue figured out. For some reason it didn't like me installing the npm packages before copying my app files in.

Dockerfile Updated

FROM node:16.3.0-alpine as base
WORKDIR /client
COPY package*.json .
