Describe the bug

I have created a custom directive defaultCount which take value as argument

public class DefaultValue
{
  public int? Value { get; set; }
}
public class DefaultDirectiveType : DirectiveType<DefaultValue>
{
  public const string name = "defaultCount";
  protected override void Configure(IDirectiveTypeDescriptor<DefaultValue> descriptor)
  {
    descriptor.Name(name);
    descriptor.Location(DirectiveLocation.Field);
    descriptor.Use((next, directive) => async (context) =>
             {
               await next.Invoke(context);
             }
     );
  }
}

Now here are my cases of using it

• ✅ Pass the value directly while using the descriptor.Use method

      query {
           categories {
               nodes {
                 id @defaultCount(value: 10)
              }
           }
       }
  

• ❌ Pass the value using variable while using the descriptor.Use method

      query Test($totalCount: Int) {
           categories {
               nodes {
                 id @defaultCount(value: $totalCount)
              }
           }
       }
  

  The result was

     {
      "errors": [
        {
          "message": "Int cannot parse the given literal of type `VariableNode`.",
          "path": [
            "value"
          ],
          "extensions": {
            "field": "defaultCount.value",
            "fieldType": "Int"
          }
         }
       ]
    }
  

• ✅ remove descriptor.Use method and pass the value using variable

    // removed this method
     descriptor.Use(...);
  

      query Test($totalCount: Int) {
           categories {
               nodes {
                 id @defaultCount(value: $totalCount)
              }
           }
       }

Start with the custom DefaultDirectiveType and compare the descriptor.Use case with the same directive without middleware, using the variable-based GraphQL query as the reproducer. Trace how the defaultCount.value argument is parsed in each case; done means a variable value parses successfully when descriptor.Use is present without the reported VariableNode error.
