`getDescription` is not exported

[Lonli-Lokli]

Same as reported here - #1165

Starting with v16 this method has been removed from public so we are facing errors with nestjs & gql

Hello, I'm facing the same issue and is not possible to get it back as was done in the past?
Would be good then...

I'm not sure the reason why it's deprecated but the method is removed completely because it's deprecated.

getDescription method was part of experimental SDL support and was required to handle "description as comment syntax".
Many years ago we finalized the SDL design that uses a different syntax for description without the need for getDescription (new syntax handled in AST).
We deprecated this function since v14 (~4years ago) and finally remove it.
I understand the frustration but we need to drop support for "experimental" stuff that was dropped from the final version.

If you have an issue with a particular library, please ask maintainers to drop support for "descriptions as comments" and remove usage of getDescription.
Meanwhile, you can continue to use v15 since it contains all the latest security fixes and is still supported.
