Getting error when first starting server in the tutorial

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I've just started the tutorial and when I first try to start the server I get

> type Launch {
> ^^^^^^

My `schema.js` file is

```
const { gql } = require('apollo-server');

const typeDefs = gql``

module.exports = typeDefs;

type Launch {
id: ID!
site: String
mission: Mission
rocket: Rocket
isBooked: Boolean!
}

type Rocket {
id: ID!
name: String
type: String
}

type User {
id: ID!
email: String!
trips: [Launch]!
}

type Mission {
name: String
missionPatch(size: PatchSize): String
}

enum PatchSize {
SMALL
LARGE
}

type Mutation {
# if false, booking trips failed -- check errors
bookTrips(launchIds: [ID]!): TripUpdateResponse!

# if false, cancellation failed -- check errors
cancelTrip(launchId: ID!): TripUpdateResponse!

login(email: String): String # login token
}

type Query {
launches: [Launch]!
launch(id: ID!): Launch
# Queries for the current user
me: User
}

```

and `index.js` is
```

const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server');
const typeDefs = require('./schema');

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs });

server.listen().then(({ url }) => {
console.log(`🚀 Server ready at ${url}`);
});

```

Not sure where the error lies as I was simply copying code from the tutorial....thanks for any clues.
