I'm trying to create a simple Spring GraphQL subscription handler. Here's my controller:

@Controller
public class GreetingController {
    @QueryMapping
    String sayHello() {
        return "Hello!";
    }

    @SubscriptionMapping
    Flux<String> greeting(@Argument int count) {
        return Flux.fromStream(Stream.generate(() -> "Hello @ " + Instant.now()))
                .delayElements(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
                .take(count);
    }
}

Here's the GraphQL schema:

type Query {
    sayHello: String
}

type Subscription {
    greeting(count: Int): String
}

Spring configuration:

spring:
    graphql:
        graphiql:
            enabled: true
            path: /graphiql

When I try to run above subscription using graphiql hosted by the spring I receive following error:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "isTrusted": true
    }
  ]
}

When I run the same graphql request using Postman I receive following response:

{
    "data": {
        "upstreamPublisher": {
            "scanAvailable": true,
            "prefetch": -1
        }
    }
}

What is causing the subscription not to return data from my controller?

As explained in the linked GitHub issue, a subscription requires the ability to stream data within a persistent transport connection - this is not available other plain HTTP.

You'll need to enable WebSocket support in your application first. The GraphiQL UI should use the WebSocket transport transparently for this.

May be you missed to use websocket property in your application.properties files

Add given property

spring.graphql.websocket.path=/graphql

Also remember to add websocket dependency

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-websocket</artifactId>
</dependency>
