Translations create not working as expected when GraphQl is used

[jmoralespestana]

Thanks for your great work in advance!

The translations are working very well.

But when GraphQl is used there is an issue related to the Translation entity serialization proccess.

Entities related

• RecipeSteps as main entity
• RecipeStepsTranslation as translation entity also declared as @ApiResource

Workflow

1. Use createRecipeStepsTranslation mutation returning the IRI [success]
2. Create an array of string to pass to next mutation [success]
3. Use the createRecipeSteps mutation [fail]

The request made is described as follow:

// the parameters are the same suggested by GraphQl docs
mutation createRecipeSteps($cookOrder: Int!, $translations: [String]) {
  createRecipeSteps(input: {cookOrder: $cookOrder, translations: $translations}) {
    recipeSteps {
      id
    }
  }
}

// set of variables
{
  "translations": [
    "/api/recipe_steps_translations/1863",
    "/api/recipe_steps_translations/1864",
    "/api/recipe_steps_translations/1865"
  ],
  "cookOrder": 0
}

After send the query the next error is raised

    }
  ],
  "data": {
    "createRecipeSteps": null
  }
}

When I use another parameters as array of IRIs of previously saved objects this is not happening, only fails with translation.

Would it be posible the translations are not available to save this way when using GraphQl?

@jmoralespestana did you manage to get this to work?
