i found the cause of this issue

 "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "next"
      },
      {
        "name": "@0no-co/graphqlsp",
        "schemas": [
          {
// if i setup `name` to `shop-api` it can not works, the `name` setup to  "@0no-co/graphqlsp", it works
            "name": "shop-api",
            "schema": "http://localhost:7001/shop-api",
            "tadaOutputLocation": "./src/common/graphql-env.d.ts"
          }
        ]
      }

// if i setup name to shop-api it can not works, the name setup to "@0no-co/graphqlsp", it works

Just to point this out, did you run gql.tada doctor by any chance? It should catch these kinds of issues, but we haven't really made the warnings on running it when you change these files more obvious

[tianyingchun]

yes i have tried gql.tada doctor it works fine, i found sometimes

sometimes it works, it caused by "typescript.enablePromptUseWorkspaceTsdk": true,?

[tianyingchun]

Is it possible that vscode configuration does not work sometimes?

[tianyingchun]

i think i found the root cause, please see my tsconfig.json

   {
            "name": "admin-api",
            "schema": "http://localhost:7001/shop-api",
            "tadaOutputLocation": "./src/graphql-env1.d.ts"
          }

i have configd "schema" to online http http://localhost:7001/shop-api, if i have generated ./src/graphql-env1.d.ts and stop graphql server http://localhost:7001/shop-api

for now reload vscode IDE the auto intelligent can not works correct, the intelligent feature disappeared

and when i restart graphql server to make sure http://localhost:7001/shop-api can be access ok, then relunch vscode IDE, it works

---

but i think because i have generated a correct graphql-env1.d.ts file, it should works correct even if i have closed graphql server http://localhost:7001/shop-api?

[tianyingchun]

because in the most time we may don't need to keep our graphql server online, because of we have generated an latest correct version graphql-env1.d.ts, the graphql(....) should works correctly for auto intelligent feature what do you think?

[kitten]

That's working as intended.

If you shut down your API the type inference will still work as long as that typings file is generated but the GraphQLSP plugin (i.e. the editor support) will stop being able to retrieve the schema.

There's more details about this in the docs. Specifically, you may want to look into either saving an SDL schema file or making your server output an SDL schema file if you don't want to keep the server running

If you don't have an easy way to let your API output a local .graphql file, you can use the CLI to generate one: https://gql-tada.0no.co/get-started/workflows

Thank you so much for clarifying the confusion
