Creating a script tag returns obfuscated error

[govindrai]

creating a script tag via the Shopify node api returns a 400 but the error does not explain why.

const data = await ctx.state.client.post({
            path: 'script_tags',
            body: {
                "script_tag": {
                    "event": "onload",
                    "src": "https://google.com"
                }
            },
            type: DataType.JSON,
        });

returns:

Received an error response (400 Bad Request) from Shopify: [object Object]. If you report this error, please include this id: 764305ab-f162-491c-9ab9-7ce93a835f09

Full code:

import Shopify, { DataType } from "@shopify/shopify-api";
const Router = require("koa-router")
const router = new Router({ prefix: "/scriptTags" })

router.use(async (ctx, next) => {
    const session = await Shopify.Utils.loadCurrentSession(ctx.req, ctx.res)

    if (!session?.shop || !session?.accessToken) {
        throw new Error("session could not be loaded. unable to create rest client")
    }

    ctx.state.client = new Shopify.Clients.Rest(session.shop, session.accessToken);
    await next()
})

router.post('/', async ctx => {
    try {
        console.log("ctx.state.client", ctx.state.client) // logs Rest Client as expected
        const data = await ctx.state.client.post({
            path: 'script_tags',
            body: {
                "script_tag": {
                    "event": "onload",
                    "src": "https://google.com"
                }
            },
            type: DataType.JSON,
        });
        console.log("data", data)
        ctx.body = data
    } catch (e) {
        console.log("error", e, e.message, e.code);
    }
})

I figured it out after wasting many, many hours. The Shopify documentation is wrong and lists body as a key to the restclient#post params when it should be data

So much frustration 😭

[govindrai]

This would've been immediately obvious if the error was not [object Object] so that issue still needs to be addressed.

@paulomarg i know you closed this with your recent merge (thanks for that :) ). However, the Shopify api docs seems to be wrong as per my second message. Will you/Shopify documentation team be addressing that? Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to send a message here! We've also fixed the docs to replace body with data, the fix is live already. Thanks for catching that!
