Pubsub publish multiple events Apollo Server - graphql

Question

I am using Apollo Server and I want to publish 2 events in the row from same resolver. Both subscriptions are working fine but only if I dispatch only one event. If I try to dispatch both, second subscription resolver never gets called. If I comment out the first event dispatch second works normally.
const publishMessageNotification = async (message, me, action) => {
const notification = await models.Notification.create({
ownerId: message.userId,
messageId: message.id,
userId: me.id,
action,
});
// if I comment out this one, second pubsub.publish starts firing
pubsub.publish(EVENTS.NOTIFICATION.CREATED, {
notificationCreated: { notification },
});
const unseenNotificationsCount = await models.Notification.find({
ownerId: notification.ownerId,
isSeen: false,
}).countDocuments();
console.log('unseenNotificationsCount', unseenNotificationsCount);// logs correct value
// this one is not working if first one is present
pubsub.publish(EVENTS.NOTIFICATION.NOT_SEEN_UPDATED, {
notSeenUpdated: unseenNotificationsCount,
});
};
I am using default pubsub implementation. There are no errors in the console.
import { PubSub } from 'apollo-server';
import * as MESSAGE_EVENTS from './message';
import * as NOTIFICATION_EVENTS from './notification';
export const EVENTS = {
MESSAGE: MESSAGE_EVENTS,
NOTIFICATION: NOTIFICATION_EVENTS,
};
export default new PubSub();

Make sure, that you use pubsub from context of apollo server, for example:
Server:
const server = new ApolloServer({
schema: schemaWithMiddleware,
subscriptions: {
path: PATH,
...subscriptionOptions,
},
context: http => ({
http,
pubsub,
redisCache,
}),
engine: {
apiKey: ENGINE_API_KEY,
schemaTag: process.env.NODE_ENV,
},
playground: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'DEV',
tracing: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'DEV',
debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'DEV',
});
and example use in resolver, by context:
...
const Mutation = {
async createOrder(parent, { input }, context) {
...
try {
...
context.pubsub.publish(CHANNEL_NAME, {
newMessage: {
messageCount: 0,
},
participants,
});
dialog.lastMessage = `{ "orderID": ${parentID}, "text": "created" }`;
context.pubsub.publish(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_NAME, {
notification: { messageCount: 0, dialogID: dialog.id },
participants,
});
...
}
return result;
} catch (err) {
log.error(err);
return sendError(err);
}
},
};

It has been a while since this moment.
I have also been a struggle with pubsub not working problem.
and I would like to see your ApolloClient setup code.
I changed my configurations with regard to graphql version and client-side setup.
graphql version : 14.xx.xx -> 15.3.0
const client = new ApolloClient({
uri: 'http://localhost:8001/graphql',
cache: cache,
credentials: 'include',
link: ApolloLink.from([wsLink, httpLink])
});
I want you to clarify link order, especially about httpLink, if you use in your case, "HttpLink is a terminating Link.", according to Apollo official site.
At first, I used link order [httpLink, wsLink].
Therefore, pubsub.publish didn't work.
I hope this answer will help some of graphql users.
