Is there anyway for apollo to not write cache entries when enabling localised cache? I have:

ApolloClient.Builder()
        ...
        .normalizedCache(SqlNormalizedCacheFactory(APOLLO_CACHE_DB)) 
        .fetchPolicy(FetchPolicy.NetworkOnly)
        ...

And :

suspend fun fetchEngineerTimeline(
        date: LocalDate,
    ): EngineerTimeline = apolloClient.query(
        GetEngineerTimelineQuery(date = Optional.Present(date))
    ).fetchPolicy(FetchPolicy.NetworkOnly)

But on the DB inspector I can isee entries for other queries where I have not added any cache policy

I'm AFK right now but IIRC there is a

cacheHeader()

function that should take a

NO_CACHE

value or so

I guess is

object ApolloCacheHeaders {
  /**
   * Records from this request should not be stored in the [NormalizedCache].
   */
  const val DO_NOT_STORE = "do-not-store"

Where can I see some doc on how to use this ones? ( For when you are back ofc)

Back at the keyboard, apologies for the delay. Glad you found

doNotStore()

, this is the way 👍 About making it a default,

ApolloClient.Builder

implements

MutableExecutionOptions

so you can do this:

ApolloClient.Builder()
   .serverUrl(..)
   // more stuff
   .doNotStore(true)
   .build()

Not that all the requests have a fetch policy though. Even if you don't set it explicitely, it will default to

CacheFirst

once you configure the cache. If you want to change that behaviour, you can define your own extension function:

fun <D: Operation.Data> ApolloCall<D>.myFetchPolicy(fetchPolicy: FetchPolicy): ApolloCall<D> = doNotStore(false).fetchPolicy(fetchPolicy)

Oh I see! Perfect, thanks!

Which version of apollo-kotlin are you using?

3.4.0

This is a plugin issue, can you try enabling "Apollo" in the JS GraphQL plugin settings?

Hmm did both things and still the same issue. ( I have also GraphQL plugin installed should I disable it?)

you shouldn't disable the GraphQL plugin as it is a dependency of the Apollo plugin

Makes sense, not sure why I still get the error then
