SATISFIABILITY_ERROR:: @key with implements not registering the Entity

Schema Design

Hello,

I am trying to federate a type on our monolith, but when I try to reference it from another subgraph, I get flooded with errors about the monolith not specifying a key.

monolith

type MyEntityType implements SomeInterface @key(fields: "id") {
  id: ID!
  name: String
}

subgraph B

type MyEntityType @key(fields: "id") {
  id: ID!
}

type Mutation {
  someMutation(id: String!): MyEntityType!
}

when I attempt to publish my schema to the managed federated graph I get errors like

SATISFIABILITY_ERROR: The following supergraph API query:
    mutation {
      someMutation(id: "A string value") {
        name
      }
    }
    cannot be satisfied by the subgraphs because:
    - from subgraph "B":
      - cannot find field "MyEntityType.name".
      - cannot move to subgraph "monolith", which has field "MyEntityType.name", because type "MyEntityType" has no @key defined in subgraph "monolith".

When I use studio to look at my schema and check “Only show entities”, MyEntityType does not appear.

What am I doing wrong?

This is apollo server v3

I found this thread from last year. Is what I’m trying to do here even possible? Man I’ll be so bummed if it isn’t.

I found this documentation which seems to suggest tagging the interface with @key, but attempting to do so yields the error: @key is not yet supported on interfaces

Yea now I’m really confused. The code base for composition-js has this test case

          interface I @key(fields: "id") {
            id: ID!
            x: Int
          }

          type A implements I @key(fields: "id") {
            id: ID!
            x: Int
            u: U
          }

but then if you actually tried to use that, you’d get the @key is not yet supported on interfaces.
What?

For posterity:
We resolved this by changing
rover graph introspect to rover subgraph introspect when publishing the schema.
This caused some issues with custom directives but solved the issue presented here.
