Help

Am updating my nest js apollo federation and am getting this error.

/Users/leonlishenga/Documents/code/omnivoltaic/nest/microservices/microservices-apigateway/node_modules/@apollo/gateway/src/supergraphManagers/IntrospectAndCompose/index.ts:118
      throw Error(
            ^
Error: A valid schema couldn't be composed. The following composition errors were found:
        [accounts-microservice] Type "Distributor" is an extension type, but there is no type definition for "Distributor" in any subgraph.
        [accounts-microservice] Type "Item" is an extension type, but there is no type definition for "Item" in any subgraph.
        [accounts-microservice] Type "AssetAccount" is an extension type, but there is no type definition for "AssetAccount" in any subgraph.

This is how my schema looks for the Distributor entity class extension in the Account Microservice


@ObjectType()
@Directive('@extends')
@Directive('@key(fields: "_id")')
export class Distributor {
  @Field((type) => ID)
  @Directive('@external')
  _id: ObjectId;

  @Field((type) => [AssetAccount], { name: 'assetAccount', nullable: true })
  assetAccount?: AssetAccount;
}

In the service that owns the Distributor entity it looks like this


@ObjectType()
@Directive('@key(fields: "_id")')
export class Distributor extends Org {
  @Field((type) => PERMISSIONS, { nullable: true })
  public activeSubRolePermission: PERMISSIONS;

  @Field((type) => Roles, { name: 'role', nullable: true })
  public roleId?: ObjectId;
}

The Org that it extends to looks like this


@InterfaceType()
@Entity({ abstract: true })
export abstract class Org extends BaseEntity {
  // This is used for certain event consequenc
  @Field((type) => OrgTypes)
  @Enum({ items: () => OrgTypes, default: OrgTypes.DISTRIBUTOR })
  public type: OrgTypes;
  @Field()
  @Property({ default: 'OVES Distributor' })
  public name: string;
}

With the BaseEntity looking like this

@InterfaceType()
@Directive('@key(fields: "_id")')
export abstract class BaseEntity {
  @Field(() => ID)
  public _id!: ObjectId;
}

The gateway for the two subgraphs looks like this


@Module({
  imports: [
    GraphQLModule.forRoot<ApolloGatewayDriverConfig>({
      driver: ApolloGatewayDriver,
      server: {
        cors: true,
        context: ({ req }) => ({
          authorization: req.headers.authorization,
          universe: req.headers.universe,
        }),
      },
      gateway: {
        supergraphSdl: new IntrospectAndCompose({
          subgraphs: [
            {
              name: 'client-microservice',
              url: 'http://localhost:3001/graphql',
            },
            {
              name: 'accounts-microservice',
              url: 'http://localhost:3011/graphql',
            },
          ],
        }),
      },
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

I have just taken a snapshot of two subgraphs i.e account-microservice and client-microservice. My question is this, what could be causing this error or issue? I can’t seem to solve it.

My Package.json for the gateway looks like this

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@apollo/gateway": "2.0.5",
    "@nestjs/apollo": "10.0.17",
    "@nestjs/common": "9.0.1",
    "@nestjs/core": "9.0.1",
    "@nestjs/graphql": "10.0.18",
    "apollo-server-express": "3.9.0",
    "graphql": "16.5.0",
    "graphql-tools": "8.3.0",
  },
}

Anyone who can help me with this I will appreciate it greatly.

Hello,

I can only tell you that downgrading your graphql package to 15.x.x should solve your problem.

But I am interested in knowking how you solved the issue with >= 16.4.0
