Undefined session object in apollo 4.0 express redis application while trying to set a cookie about connect-redis HOT 7 CLOSED

Closing this since it is fixed now.

I am not familiar with Apollo and what it may do the the request objects but a cursory view of your code would suggest me that somehow the express middleware and the Apollo resolvers are not sharing the same request object. If you provide a minimal example that runs and demonstrates the issue, I can take a further look.

Thank you for the quick response! :) I've uploaded a running repo: https://github.com/ElectronicBeef/Reddit-Clone

@ElectronicBeef Unfortunately, this isn't really runnable for me. It requires a postgres database to start the project. Is there any more minimal version that only has an external Redis dependency that demonstrates the issue?

Sorry, my bad! I've created a new minimalistic repo that doesn't require a postgres database: https://github.com/ElectronicBeef/connect-redis-session-issue

I can run this, thx. In your example, the req object is undefined in your resolver so session is also undefined as a result. Seems like those context values aren't even making it to the resolver:

@Resolver()
export class Hello {
  @Query(() => String)
  hello(@Ctx("req") { req }: MyContext) {
    console.log(req) // <-- this is undefined
    // ...
}

Thanks for the hunch in the right direction, I finally fixed it and the error may be slightly embarrassing. I just had to change the code for my context from this:
expressMiddleware(apolloServer, { context: async ({ req }) => ({ req }), })
To this:
expressMiddleware(apolloServer, { context: async ({ req }) => ({ req: req.session }), })
