Repro steps

• ng new fresh
• cd fresh
• npm i graphql@latest
• add the following to the app.module.ts:

import { graphql } from 'graphql';
...
export class AppModule {
  constructor() {
    // it does not matter what it is below as long as we're using something from `graphql`
    const t = graphql();
  }
}

• npm start

Observed behavior

ERROR in ./node_modules/graphql/index.mjs
2:0-49 Can't reexport the named export 'graphql' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available)
ERROR in ./node_modules/graphql/index.mjs
2:0-49 Can't reexport the named export 'graphqlSync' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available)
...
// continues reporting the same error for all .mjs files

Desired behavior

Build should work

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I don't know much about .mjs, but it appears it might be used instead of .js in some cases: http://2ality.com/2017/05/es-module-specifiers.html

It appears this might be an issue of Webpack 4 configuration. See this for details.

For real world applications using graphql, this is a critical regression.

Tried a few workarounds- forking and optimistically editing @angular-devkit; using fileReplacements for graphql.mjs; specifying exact imports (from 'graphql -> from 'graphql/utilities/index.js').

None worked. This is the only issue blocking Angular@6 migration for us

@elmoGrummelig
fixed for me by angular/devkit@ddf7edd
(need to wait for the tests to pass and a release of @angular-devkit/build-angular)

[PowerKiKi]

I upgraded to the freshly released @angular-devkit/build-angular 6.0.2 and graphql 0.13.2. It now compile fine, but running tests will fail. Karma will open Chrome with the Karma page, but nothing happens at all. When clicking on the "DEBUG" button, it will open a new tab and after a short while the following error will appear in Chrome console:

So it seems it is quite solved yet. Downgrading back graphql with yarn add graphql@0.13.0 (but keeping @angular-devkit/build-angular 6.0.2, will make tests pass.

[amitport]

Should work when next version after graphql@0.13.2 is released (at least for me) (next version planned is graphql@14.0.0 which seems to be a big release that will take some time)--you can also install unreleased version https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js#want-to-ride-the-bleeding-edge.

see graphql/graphql-js#1344 (comment)

@PowerKiKi you need @angular-devkit/build-angular@0.6.3 on the angular side
