Description
What is the current behavior?
When I run the graphql_schema management function with a graphQL output (e.g. python manage.py graphql_schema --out schema.graphql) I get a schema that looks like:
type Mutation {
addTodo(name: String!, priority: Priority = LOW): Todo!
removeTodo(id: ID!): Todo!
}
schema {
query: Query
mutation: Mutation
}
type Viewer implements Node, ViewerBaseInterface {
id: ID!
}
interface ViewerBaseInterface {
otherField: String
}
interface Node {
id: ID!
}
When I tried to use the Relay compiler to generate types using this schema, it kept throwing an obscure error ([INFO] [default] compiling... [ERROR] ✖︎ Expected a end of file <generated>: <missing source> for anyone struggling with this)
After much debugging, I discovered this line was the problem:
type Viewer implements Node, ViewerBaseInterface
The issue is with the comma syntax to denote inheritance from multiple interfaces. This syntax should now look like type Viewer implements Node & ViewerBaseInterface.
This issue is described on the Relay side here. The fix is to update the schema generation to a later version (in JS this version is graphql-js v0.13).
What is the expected behavior?
We are unfortunately still on Graphene v2.1.9/Graphene-django 2.16.0. We are planning to upgrade later in the year but this will be a fairly large undertaking for us. Because of this I'm not sure if Graphene v3 fixes the issue.
Either way, would it be possible to release a v2 version with the new syntax generator to allow us/others to work around this issue?
Alternatively is there another way we can work round this in the short-term? e.g. what dependency should we update if we wanted to create a fork?
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Supporting new graphQL behaviour on v2
Please tell us about your environment:
