Error in datasource when querying using triple quotes syntax containing quotes or newlines

[mattjohnsonpint]

Given a schema such as:

type Query {
    foo(bar: String):String
}

I can accept queries like this:

query {
  foo(bar: "abc")
}

or:

query {
  foo(bar: "abc\ndef")
}

or with variables (containing any newlines or not):

query MyQuery($bar: String){
  foo(bar: $bar)
}

But I believe I should be able to also do this, and it fails:

query {
  foo(bar: 
"""
abc
def
""")
}

I'm using a custom data source with a JsonVariableRenderer.

With some trace debugging, I believe the problem is here:

https://github.com/wundergraph/graphql-go-tools/blob/3c4cb175dafb214644c3eee89960808e03924d54/v2/pkg/ast/ast_value.go#L146-L147

Since the string value returned by d.StringValueContentBytes(value.Ref) contains a raw newline character, and it's only wrapping it in quotes, the resulting value doesn't have the newline escaped as "\n" to be valid JSON.

The failure occurs in my custom datasource at the start of the Load function when I try to unmarshal the input string. It should be valid JSON, but in this case it's malformed.

A minimal repro will take some time if you need one, but I thought I'd report it in the meantime. Thanks.

For now I've worked around it with:

input = bytes.ReplaceAll(input, []byte("\n"), []byte("\\n"))

... in my datasource before I parse. But this should probably be done earlier. Thanks.

An update, it's not just newlines. In a """ block I can also have raw quotes, and those don't get escaped properly either.

query {
  foo(bar: 
"""
a"bc
""")
}

I can't workaround this case easily either, because the outer JSON quotes would need to remain unescaped.

Hi @mattjohnsonpint, great catch! Would you be open to create a PR?
