v14 tutorial doesn't match v14 reality

[trumbitta]

This code https://relay.dev/docs/tutorial/queries-1/#relay-and-the-type-system is supposed to type data.topStory, but after applying it we discover data.topStory doesn't exist.

data.topStories exists in its stead, but I don't know how what's happening because I'm following the tutorial to learn about Relay 😬

@trumbitta Hi! I encountered the same phenomenon myself. It seems to be caused by relay-compiler failing to start watch mode and GraphQL not updating the types.

If I recompile manually, it works correctly.

npm run relay

I couldn't quite figure out why the compiler is failing to start watch mode, but I am getting the following error message.

[relay] thread 'main' panicked at 'Cannot run relay in watch mode if `watchman` is not available (or explicitly disabled).' , crates/relay-bin/src/main.rs:284:9
[relay] note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
[relay] npm run watch-relay exited with code 101

I hope it gets better soon, as it is a great library.

I encountered the same issue as @trumbitta when I started the tutorial. I managed to resolve the issue by installing watchman.

I installed watchman and it works. Also, Relay GraphQL's VSCode Extension now works and can jump to the fragment definition. Thanks! @remz99

I also had this problem, and installing watchman also fixed it. Just a heads up that I had to install it with Homebrew. I tried installing it with npm (both local and global) and it did not work.

This problem still exists as originally described.

Encountered same issue here. Seems the tutorial document should be mentioning this.

in extension setting, I added this line (on m1 mac)

"relay.pathToRelay": "./node_modules/relay-compiler/macos-arm64/relay"

and installed watchman using brew install watchman

Was finally able to click on fragment spread and go to where the fragment is defined!! :D
