Remote schema type prefix/suffix should be removed when the request is forwarded to the remote schema

Version Information

Server Version: 2.14.0

Environment

What is the current behaviour?

To avoid type conflicts with remote schema, hasura allows the user to set type prefixes and suffixes. This effectively namespaces the types and prevents conflicts.

Hasura maps variables to scalar or JSON values when proxied to remote schemas. However, this mapping does not happen if the request includes enums.

This is an issue as the remote schema will not be able to process the query.

Given this schema:

enum TodoTypeEnum {
  work,
  rest
}

type Todo {
  description: String
  type: TodoTypeEnum
}

query {
  todo_by_type(type: TodoTypeEnum): Todo
}

And the following query:

query GetTodoByType ($todoType: TodoTypeEnum) {
  todo_by_type(type: $todoType) {
    type
    description
  }
}

Adding the type prefix remote_ will result in the following query being sent to the remote schema:

query GetTodoByType ($todoType: remote_TodoTypeEnum) {
  todo_by_type(type: $todoType) {
    type
    description
  }
}

The remote schema does not have a type remote_TodoTypeEnum, so the request is rejected.

What is the expected behaviour?

Hasura should remove prefixes as it forwards the request to the remote schema.

How to reproduce the issue?

1. Add a type prefix to a remote schema
2. Execute a request using either an enum input variable, either directly or as part of another input type
3. The remote schema rejects the request

Thank you folks for reporting this bug. This has been fixed now and the fix will be included in the next release.

I’ll open a different issue for the inlining problem.
