missing required field 'args' when using session variables in a custom function

[securisec]

When working with a custom function, I am having an issue that seems to defy the docs. I have a custom function that gets the user id from x-hasura-user-id and updates a table.

My custom function signature is:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION db.make_an_update(hasura_session json)
 RETURNS TABLE(after_updated db.some_table)
 LANGUAGE sql VOLATILE
AS $function$
  ...
  WHERE
    user_id = ((hasura_session ->> 'x-hasura-user-id')::text)
  RETURNING
    *;
$function$

This function is tracked, and tested outside of hasura to make sure it works. The tracking metadata is specified as such:

function:
  name: make_an_update
  schema: db
configuration:
  custom_root_fields: {}
  session_argument: hasura_session

The issue I am having is that when making a mutation query, i am getting the error missing required field 'args', but when trying to specify empty args, like make_an_update(args:{}), I am getting the error Non default arguments cannot be omitted.

Based on the docs, I have the hasura_session specified in the metadata, and the function is working as expected and tracked, I have tried creating as VOLATILE and not, but cannot get past this args required error.

I tried working with both hasura versions 2.11.1 and 2.12.0-ce

After doing some debugging, it looks like when calling the mutation, it is expecting after_updated as a valid args which seems like a bug because it is not a function argument.
