Describe the bug

I have a schema with an input object which contains a field of type long?

When I enter a long value in GraphQL variables I have an amber error report stating 'Incorrect type. Expected "null"

Relevant type from schema: type SeriesDefinition { publishingSchedule: PublishingSchedule! getNextPublicationDueAfter(dateTimestamp: Long!): Long! nextPublicationDueDateFromToday: Long! nextPublicationDueDateFromLastPublished: Long! id: String! longName: String! appliesFrom: Long appliesUntil: Long publishingScheduleId: String! seriesScheduleExceptions: [ScheduleException!]! }

Steps to reproduce

https://github.com/glen-84/hc-6396 (.NET 8, BCP 14.0.0)

1. Create a schema with mutation containing an object with field long?
2. Import schema into BCP
3. Attempt to fill out the mutation with a long value in the field

Relevant log output

Seems like a javascript limitation. This would also not serialize correctly and would also bring you into trouble with your frontend.

OK we've not actually got to the point of using the FE with this, but we've used similar in other places without issue. What's the expected problem, the number is smaller than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, unless the handling of nullability causes other problems?

I added a minimal reproduction link to the initial comment.

Interestingly, if you change Long to Long!, then the error is:

Incorrect type. Expected "string".
