When use string file path for typeDefs,there is a error: Cannot parse the unexpected character "/".

const server = new GraphQLServer({
    typeDefs: './src/schema.graphql',
    resolvers,
})

When use string file path for typeDefs,there is a error: /Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/lexer.js:302 throw (0, _error.syntaxError)(source, pos, unexpectedCharacterMessage(code)); ^ GraphQLError: Syntax Error: Cannot parse the unexpected character “/”. at syntaxError (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/error/syntaxError.js:24:10) at readToken (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/lexer.js:302:32) at Object.lookahead (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/lexer.js:61:43) at Object.advanceLexer [as advance] (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/lexer.js:52:33) at expect (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/parser.js:1296:11) at parseDocument (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/parser.js:107:3) at Object.parse (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql/language/parser.js:38:10) at getDocumentFromSDL (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql-import/dist/index.js:107:26) at Object.importSchema (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql-import/dist/index.js:59:20) at mergeTypeDefs (/Users/harry/reactworkspace/graphql-yoga-server/hackernews-node/node_modules/graphql-yoga/dist/index.js:402:37)

Same here… that’s strange. Maybe node version related. I worked around it by reading file contents and passing it to typedefs option, as if it was inlined in the code. Also I’m using “.graphqls” etension.

const typeDefs = fs.readFileSync('./src/schema.graphqls','utf8');
...
const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers
});

I suspect it’s failing to reconize the argument as as filepath for some reason, so it tries to parse the path as actual graphql schema. Not why this happens though, I tried the same path for both fs.readFileSync and typeDefs option. I also tried the full path, but no luck either.

I am having the same issue… has anyone figured it out?
