Absinthe dataloader issue. "** (BadMapError) expected a map, got: {:ok, [model]}" from resolve

I’m trying to link dataloader up.

object :user do
  field(:posts, list_of(:post)) do
    resolve: &MyOwnResolver.function/3
  end
end

This works. And my resolver returns something like {:ok, [post, post, post]}

object :user do
  field(:posts, list_of(:post)) do
    resolve: dataloader(Blog)
  end
end

This fails with the following error:

** (BadMapError) expected a map, got: {:ok, [%Blog.Post{...}]}

Hi @pejrich neither should work as written since you need to do resolve &MyOwnResolver.function/3 or resolve dataloader(Blog) not resolve: dataloader(Blog).

Correct. That was just a syntax error in my post, my code is resolve dataloader(Blog), not resolve: dataloader(Blog). But there error still exists. I’m not sure why an :ok tuple is cauing an error in this case, since it doesn’t cause an error why I use my own resolver, only when I use dataloader.

Can you show your exact code copied and pasted? What is happening somewhere is that a resolver is returning {:ok, {:ok, list_of_posts}}.

What versions of Absinthe / Dataloader are you on? Do mix deps|grep absinthe and mix deps|grep dataloader
