⨯ FetcherError: dbname: invalid branch name when using client@next ts sdk

Hi, I'm trying to use Xata with postgres enabled via the @next ts sdk. Firstly, the client generation seems broken, as mentioned in my previous post. But secondly, when I try and make a request I'm getting: ⨯ FetcherError: mydbname: invalid branch name However when I inspect the client config, the config via await xata.getConfig();, correct branch name seems to be present... Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hey Adam, I'm looking into this now. Can you paste the code for the query you're running and also how you're initialising the client? I haven't been able to reproduce locally with xata.io/client@^0.0.0-next.veed33633c02b9411aecf8f69d8c94071c9257c12 and xata.io/cli/0.0.0-next.veed33633c02b9411aecf8f69d8c94071c9257c12 on a Postgres enabled branch. Also, we just deployed a fix for some issues around our feature flags and Postgres branches, I think this might have resolved your issue (🤞) so if you could give it another try that would be awesome

Hi @emily thanks for the response. I'm instantiating the client via:

import { XataClient } from "@/xata";

let instance: XataClient | undefined = undefined;

// Seems to fix a bug in the xata client where apiKey and branch are not set
export const getXataClient = () => {
  if (instance) return instance;
  const apiKey = process.env.XATA_API_KEY;
  if (!apiKey) {
throw new Error("XATA_API_KEY not set");
  }
  const branch = process.env.XATA_BRANCH;
  if (!branch) {
    
    throw new Error("XATA_BRANCH not set");
  }
  const databaseURL = process.env.XATA_DATABASE_URL;
  if (!databaseURL) {
    
    throw new Error("XATA_DATABASE_URL not set");
  }
  instance = new XataClient({
    apiKey,
    branch,
    databaseURL,
  });
  return instance;
};

import { XataClient } from "@/xata";

let instance: XataClient | undefined = undefined;

// Seems to fix a bug in the xata client where apiKey and branch are not set
export const getXataClient = () => {
  if (instance) return instance;
  const apiKey = process.env.XATA_API_KEY;
  if (!apiKey) {
throw new Error("XATA_API_KEY not set");
  }
  const branch = process.env.XATA_BRANCH;
  if (!branch) {
    
    throw new Error("XATA_BRANCH not set");
  }
  const databaseURL = process.env.XATA_DATABASE_URL;
  if (!databaseURL) {
    
    throw new Error("XATA_DATABASE_URL not set");
  }
  instance = new XataClient({
    apiKey,
    branch,
    databaseURL,
  });
  return instance;
};

and accessing the data via a data access layer in a nextjs app. Here is the fn in the data access layer:

import { getXataClient } from "@/data/helpers";
import { TenantsRecord } from "@/xata";
import { SelectedPick } from "@xata.io/client";

const xata = getXataClient();

export async function getTenantBySlug(
  slug: string
): Promise<SelectedPick<TenantsRecord, ["*"]> | null> {
  const result = await xata.db.tenants.filter({ slug }).getFirst();
  return result;
}

import { getXataClient } from "@/data/helpers";
import { TenantsRecord } from "@/xata";
import { SelectedPick } from "@xata.io/client";

const xata = getXataClient();

export async function getTenantBySlug(
  slug: string
): Promise<SelectedPick<TenantsRecord, ["*"]> | null> {
  const result = await xata.db.tenants.filter({ slug }).getFirst();
  return result;
}

@emily how do I check if postgres is enabled on a branch? I definitely enabled it when I initially created the db, but since then I created a new dev branch to rule out a bug due to a branch name containing hyphens. Now I can't see any flags in the UI indicating whether postgres is enabled...

If it shows the elephant icon it is Also if you tell me the name I can check yeah, all the branches in your workspace are Postgres enabled, so that's not the issue ah, I think I know. How does the XATA_DATABASE_URL look for you? It should not contain the branch name. For example, this works for me:

XATA_DATABASE_URL='https://demo-uni3q8.us-east-1.xata.sh/db/xata-nextjs'

XATA_DATABASE_URL='https://demo-uni3q8.us-east-1.xata.sh/db/xata-nextjs'

if I add :main to it, I get a similar error as you do

@tsg yes, that was it - thank you!
