Request passed to resolver through context_value changes when accessed

[xjun461]

Hi there,

I am using ariadne/gunicorn/uvicorn to create a GraphQL service in ASGI style. For authorization, we plan to do it on resolver layer and to achieve so, we use context_value to pass user info as part of request (which I also learn from this forum). The user info is provided via encoded jwt context as part of request body. So we first decode it and then append back to the request at server layer. The issue we encountered is that when we try to access the request value from context info in resolver, the request is no longer the one we expected, but overwritten by some other request.

To recap:

1. get request from ASGI HTTP scope
2. init GraphqlApp with context_value = {"request: request"}

class App:
graphqlApp

def get_context(request: Request):
     return {"request": request}

async def __call__(scope, receive, send):
     request= Request(scope)...
     if not this.graphqlApp: 
         self.graphqlApp = new Graph (... context_value = get_context(request), ...) (run only once)
     if request.method = 'post':
         request = parse_jwt(request)
         await self.graphqlApp(scope, receive, send)
     ....
     ....

3. whenever a http service request comes in, resolve the user info from encoded jwt and append back to request
4. access request via info.context in resolver

Why does the request we get in the resolver is not the one we are expecting? How can I make it work?

Thanks in advance!
