GraphQL admin api: Getting nested translations for MENU type

Partner Discussions

I am trying to fetch translations for my menus using GraphQL admin API - bulk query. Menu items have only 1 level of nesting.
My query looks like this:

mutation {
	bulkOperationRunQuery(
		query: """
		{
			translatableResources(resourceType: MENU) {
				edges {
					node {
						resourceId
						translations(locale: "en") {
							key
							value
							locale
						}
						nestedTranslatableResources(resourceType: LINK) {
							edges {
								node {
									resourceId
									translations(locale: "en") {
										key
										value
										locale
									}
								}
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
		"""
	) {
		bulkOperation {
			id
			status
			url
			errorCode
			__typename
			type
		}
		userErrors {
			field
			message
			__typename
		}
	}
}

When I run this i get following error:
The parent 'node' field for a nested connection must select the 'id' field without an alias and must be of 'ID' return type. Connection fields without 'id': translatableResources.

But the node of translatableResources(resourceType: MENU) does not have id field. It only has resourceId field. I tryied anyway and I got this error:
Invalid bulk query: Field 'id' doesn't exist on type 'TranslatableResource'
That makes sense.

I dont know how to solve that. It wants me to select the field which doesnt exist in the definition.

Also tryied to remove nestedTranslatableResources(resourceType: LINK) piece and query run successfully. It only happens when I try to select nestedTranslatableResources.

Also tryied using nestedTranslatableResources with different resourceType parameter values and also completly omitting it.

Thank you anyone who knows anything about this.

Does it work in the normal graphql api, if you paginate over the items? :thinking:

My guess would be that because translatable resources have a resourceId and not an id, the bulk operation won’t allow for nesting. As it uses id of a resource to let you connect the nested resources when downloading the JSONL file. @Liam-Shopify would it be possible to raise this with the internal team is possible please :pray:
