Dynamic type modifiers not respected?

I’m trying to declare the types of my type fields using the constructors for NonNullType, StringType, etc and finding that the type modifiers (NonNullType and ListType) aren’t being respected when declaring them this way.

eg. If I use the Star Wars template example, and in line 20 of QueryType.cs change the statement from:

descriptor.Field(t => t.GetCharacter(default, default))
          .Type<NonNullType<ListType<NonNullType<CharacterType>>>>()
          .Argument("characterIds",
              a => a.Type<NonNullType<ListType<NonNullType<IdType>>>>());

to:

descriptor.Field(t => t.GetCharacter(default, default))
          .Type<NonNullType<ListType<NonNullType<CharacterType>>>>()
          .Argument("characterIds",
              a => a.Type(new NonNullType(new ListType(new NonNullType(new IdType())))));

then I see that the field definition for characterIds in Query becomes just:

character(characterIds: ID): [Character!]!

ie. the input type is ID rather than [ID!]!. I’m not sure if this is supposed to work but I note that the style appears to work for normal types (and is extremely helpful for constructing the schema dynamically), just not the modifiers.

we skipped 0.8.3 and I overlooked this one… I moved it to the current stream.

We will look at dynamic Schemas after 11. We will however look at better ways to enable this. I am closing this issue and we will create a new issue lining out our idea around this.
