Query parameters not being passed to Netlify function, but works in dev

Hello. I’m new to this so please bear with me.

I have an app that uses OpenAI to generate a backstory for a fictional RPG character.
This uses a Netlify function to run the OpenAI query server-side.
This works fine with netlify dev, but when I run it in production, it does not. The ‘prompt’ query parameter simply does not get passed to the function; queryStringParameters is blank.

I’m calling the function from my React app like this:

const prompt = `Write a character story about a ${character.race} ${character.occ} named ${character.name} `
const url = "/.netlify/functions/generateBackstory" + "?prompt=" + prompt

Yet the server-side Netlify function shows queryStringParameters as {}.
The parameters are visible in the rawQuery var, however.

The Netlify function looks like this:

const handler = async (event, context) => {
    var message
    console.log('event', event)
    const prompt = event.queryStringParameters.prompt
    console.log('handler', event.queryStringParameters.prompt)

    const requestOptions = {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                   'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({  model: 'text-davinci-003',
                                prompt: prompt,
                                max_tokens: 64,
                                temperature: 0.9,
                                top_p: 1,
                                presence_penalty: 0,
                                frequency_penalty: 0
        })
      }

    try {
      console.log('trying to fetch', requestOptions)
      const result = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/completions', requestOptions)
      const data = await result.json()
      const text = data.choices[0].text

      const message = {
        statusCode: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify({ message: text })
      }

      return message
    } catch (error) {
      console.log('error', error)
        return { statusCode: 500, body: error.toString() }
    }
  }

Am I capturing and passing the ‘prompt’ query parameter incorrectly? Again, this works fine when I run from netlify dev.

Any suggestions welcome. Please let me know if I should provide additional information.
Thank you in advance!

Hi @mrbranden ,

Thanks for reaching out. I have escalated this to Zendesk for our support engineers to take a look.

Hey @mrbranden,

Would you be able to send over a reproduction? I can see event.queryParameters being logged out here:
