apollo codegen:generate did't work. TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

[kanziw]

I am trying codegen:generate with npm scripts.

  "scripts": {
    ...
    "precodegen": "apollo service:download --endpoint=http://localhost:4000/graphql",
    "codegen": "apollo codegen:generate src/types/api.d.ts --queries='src/**/*.query.ts' --addTypename --target typescript --outputFlat"
  },

But I faced error..

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

Having the exact same issue.

Also running into this and unsure how to proceed.

It works at v1.9.2.... T^T

Correct. worked with older version!

[martijnwalraven]

I believe this should have been fixed in the latest versions. Could you try again and see if that works for you?

It doesn't work yet...
I do not use a config file. Do I have to use the config file?

❯ yarn codegen
yarn run v1.12.1
$ apollo service:download --endpoint=http://localhost:4000/graphql
 ✔ Loading Apollo Project
 ✔ Saving schema to schema.json
$ apollo codegen:generate src/types/api.d.ts --queries='src/**/*.query.ts' --addTypename --target typescript --outputFlat

[lukepighetti]

Still haven't found a way around this. Get the same "no provider was created for config" error.

Should I just be using gql-gen?

[0xcaff]

I solved this issue by writing a client configuration following directions on this page: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/references/apollo-config.html

[Martinnord]

This still haven't been resolved. Was on latest version (2.1.9), but had to downgrade to 1.9.2. Any updates?

For those still seeing the issue, can you please provide a reproduction?
