apollo codegen:generate doesn't work in npm run-scripts

[kunchenguid]

on osx, running "apollo codegen:generate --target=typescript --addTypename" in terminal works but putting it in package.json scripts and use "npm run" to execute the exact same command will report an error as below:

✖ Generating query files with 'typescript' target
→ Cannot query field "xxx" on type "Query"
GraphQLError: Cannot query field "xxx" on type "Query"

I get the same error running scripts with yarn. Currently using apollo@1.10.0-register.1.

Same here on Windows 10...

@kunchenguid is it because the version of apollo you have installed globally is different from the one that's in the package.json? I get the error consistently regardless of how I run it.

@Dremora in my case, I attempted with the same version locally and globally, and met the same result.

Failed on my local project (installed via Yarn)
Worked when run from a global install (installed via npm)

Same issue with yarn and apollo@1.9.2

Very likely related to #577, which was fixed in #624. Assuming this is not generally available yet.

For a short-term fix, place this in your package.json (thanks @stnwk):

"resolutions": {
  "@types/graphql": "14.0.1", /* if using typescript */
  "graphql": "14.0.2"
}

@stevenpetryk I tried the workaround and the vNext Branch, but neither worked for me.

[johnadamson]

@tbo The correct line for the package.json file is

"resolutions": {
  "apollo/graphql": "^14.0.2"
}

For the version number, just use whatever version your graphql dependency is; mine had the leading caret. In the case of yarn, you will know it worked correctly if the node_modules/apollo/node_modules folder does NOT have a graphql folder in it. If it does, remove your node_modules and reinstall your dependencies.

Doesn't work for me either

[malimccalla]

Using resolutions doesn't work for me, have to manually remove graphql from node_modules/apollo/node_modules to get it working

@malimccalla thanks that worked for me as hacky as it is 😕 .

Is it me or is the the Apollo project going through a phase of major change right now, a lot of their docs/examples seem out of date see:

• Using subscriptions with express on the same port apollo-server#1902
• https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/blob/49ceaae683599e058009606eed9f933edab5886e/examples/typescript/package.json#L32-L33

Should probably ask this on slack but just trying to quickly gauge the situation.

@malimccalla solution worked for me as well...for a few days. then I stared getting the same error again, so I tried upgrading to v2.0.5 with no joy. dowgraded back to v1.9.2 and ran again with yarn just for giggles and it magically worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯
