Shopify API Error while trying to deserialize arguments

After a lot of digging and a bit of luck, I noticed that the webhooks response from Shopify contained a new field admin_graphql_api_id: gid://shopify/Product/817915723823. Then I started to do some more digging and learning about Global ID to find that "Support is automatically included in Active Record."

So what happened was that Shopify started, overnight, to send the admin_graphql_api_id field that automatically triggered the model search, messing with my app.

The fix was to add an initializer that bypasses the model search, doing nothing.

I could use this feature to automatically find models but at times the app receives webhooks with products that aren't there anymore.

config/initializers/global_id.rb

GlobalID::Locator.use :shopify do |gid|
  # do nothing
end

Update

One quick fix is to filter out that param

def deserialize(job_data)
  sanitized_data = recursive_delete_gids(job_data)
  super(sanitized_data)
end

private

def recursive_delete_gids(hash)
  hash.each do |key, value|
    case value
  when String
    hash.delete(key) if value.start_with? 'gid://'
  when Hash
    recursive_delete_gids(value)
  when Array
    value.each do |array_value|
      recursive_delete_gids(array_value) if array_value.is_a? Hash
    end
  end
end
