TypeError: query.select.split is not a function

See original GitHub issue

My team is seeing failures in the Contentful client since the update from 7.14.13 to 7.15.2.

Actual Behavior

We’re having numerous tests fail with the following error:

TypeError: query.select.split is not a function
      at normalizeSelect (node_modules/contentful/dist/webpack:/contentful/utils/normalize-select.js:14:35)
      at Object.getEntries (node_modules/contentful/dist/webpack:/contentful/create-contentful-api.js:216:20)
      at getCachedContentfulEntriesOrFetch (src/clients/contentful/contentful-client.ts:616:44)`

FYI Updating to 8.0.3 exhibits the same error

TypeError: query.select.split is not a function
    at normalizeSelect (/home/circleci/alma/api/node_modules/contentful/dist/webpack:/contentful/utils/normalize-select.js:14:35)
    at Object.getEntries (/home/circleci/alma/api/node_modules/contentful/dist/webpack:/contentful/create-contentful-api.js:227:20)
    at getCachedContentfulEntriesOrFetch (/home/circleci/alma/api/src/clients/contentful/contentful-client.ts:616:44)

Context

The client is breaking production code.

I added your use case to be officially supported so that all those also go through the correct select normalization procedure. The new version should be released in a few minutes.

In any case I think this should be a valid way of using the select operator since an array makes much more sense than a string with comma separated values, I’m mainly just wondering if the API actually accepted the payloads in a way that was not documented.
