Houdini not able to pull schema. "ERROR: couldn't pull your schema: resp.text is not a function"
02:10 13 Jan 2026

I have a SvelteKit project where i am trying to query a GraphQL endpoint and get end to end typesafety using Houdini.

I run npx houdini init in my repository and get the following error:

⚠️ Couldn't pull your schema: resp.text is not a function

I am able to query the graphql endpoint in my +page.ts files trivially with:

const response = await fetach(GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    }
    body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});

What could be the cause of this error and how can i fix it?
