}

The command executed:

yarn start introspection

Unknown argument: endpointName

Problem description:

When running graphql get-schema with nps, an endpointName options gets passed through which fails validation in graphql-cli. Running the same command from package.json scripts works as expected. I'm not sure where the issue can be resolved from, if either, so I think I'm going to open an issue in both and see if something can be resolved. Happy to help how I can.

Huh... No idea why an endpointName would magically appear here. You could try diving into your node_modules to see if that helps...

Let us know what you come up with.

[donovanhiland]

Ok so the magically appearing endpointName isn't so magical after all. I have an env var GRAPHQL_CONFIG_ENDPOINT_NAME which yargs is parsing and passing as an argument with something like .env('GRAPHQL_CONFIG'). It's not expecting an endpointName argument and so fails on yargs.strict().

In my package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nps",
    "introspection": "graphql get-schema"
  }
}

My package-scripts.js

{
    scripts: {
        introspection: 'graphql get-schema',
        npmIntrospection: 'yarn run introspection'
    }
}

yarn start introspection - fails yarn start npmIntrospection - fails yarn run introspection - works

I'm curious as to why running it through nps in any fashion fails, but directly running the npm script works.

I have no idea why this is happening though:

I have an env var GRAPHQL_CONFIG_ENDPOINT_NAME which yargs is parsing and passing as an argument with something like .env('GRAPHQL_CONFIG')

and

I'm curious as to why running it through nps in any fashion fails, but directly running the npm script works.

I'm also curious. I'm really sorry @donovanhiland, I just have very limited time to dedicate to this package so I can't be a lot of help to you here :-/

[donovanhiland]

I totally understand! I'll document any other findings here in case someone else runs into the same issue.
