Description
GraphQLMultiQueryRequest is not giving the variable references when serializing. Although GraphQLQueryRequest is serializing correctly. For example I have below schema:
type Query {
books(author: String): [Book]
authors: [Author]
}
type Book {
id: ID
name: String!
authors: [Author!]!
}
type Author {
name: String!
}
The generated DTO's for queries and projections, and the multi-query request will be:
var booksGraphqlQuery = BooksGraphQLQuery.newRequest().authorReference("authorName").build();
var authorsGraphqlQuery = AuthorsGraphQLQuery.newRequest().build();
var booksProjection = BooksProjectionRoot<>().id().name().authors().name();
var authorsProjection = AuthorsProjectionRoot<>().name();
var booksRequest = new GraphQLQueryRequest(booksGraphqlQuery, booksProjection);
var authorsRequest = new GraphQLQueryRequest(authorsGraphqlQuery, authorsProjection);
var multiQueryRequest = new GraphQLMultiQueryRequest(List.of(booksRequest, authorsRequest));
Now if I do booksRequest.serialize(), I see the result query string contains variable references
query ($authorName: String!) {
books(author: $authorName) {
id
name
authors {
name
}
}
}
But if I do multiQueryRequest.serialize(), then the result query string does not contains the variable references
{
books(author: null) {
id
name
authors {
name
}
}
authors {
name
}
}
