Language Server appears not to start up

Describe the bug

I've followed the installation instructions, but the language server doesn't seem to start up. No .d.ts file is created.

I'm using VSCode.

^1.2.1

Hey @mattpocock

Going to move this issue to @0no-co/graphqlsp, are you using the workspace version of VSCode? If so, do you see any logs in the tsserver logs, you can start these up like this and look for [GraphQLSP].

Quickly checked myself and the LSP works but it fails to generate the types due to your schema being invalid.

Err 76    [08:00:44.311] Exception on executing command unknown:

    Unknown type "CreateUserInput".
    
    Unknown type "CreatePostInput".

    Error: Unknown type "CreateUserInput".
    
    Unknown type "CreatePostInput".

When I add

input CreatePostInput {
  id: ID!
}

input CreateUserInput {
  id: ID!
}

It works fine, currently it's really hard to convey errors in the LSP as it just pipes to tsserver which in turn is hard to surface. Sorry you had to run into that.

I suppose this does add some question around debugging, but I think, the answer here is quite simple: gql.tada should have a CLI that allows doing all the operations we tell people out of the box.

I've also been thinking that for some cases a doctor or check subcommand would be useful that checks several pre-conditions 🤔

[mattpocock]

Gotcha - yes, this is a hard problem to solve. This flow come up extremely often and it's important to source it to the user.

Is it not possible with the plugin to throw custom errors at certain call sites? Like graphql. Just blow the whole thing up with errors if there's a problem with the schema (or, for instance, fetching from a remote schema?).

[JoviDeCroock]

We can't surface it no, I have tried a lot of things but I have only managed to surface it in tsserver. We're working on 0no-co/gql.tada#58 to be able to surface these differently

[mattpocock]

OK, makes sense! I'll close this issue as it feels unrelated to the real problem, which you guys have in hand.

just want to add that folders won't be automatically created so no .d.ts file either
