JSON scalar types not supported

See original GitHub issue

Bug description

I have an upstream graphql server that uses JSON scalar types.

When the value returned for this scalar is a JSON object, wundergraph complains with the following error:

2022-12-14T13:53:48+11:00 ERROR apihandler/apihandler.go:801 ResolveGraphQLResponse {"component": "@wundergraph/node", "reqId": "44a4ae5f-ef82-a2e9-3731-7a0284accd0b", "error": "invalid value type 'object' for path /data/bar, expecting string, got: {\"type\":\"string\"}. You can fix this by configuring this field as Int/Float Scalar"}

How to reproduce

I have been able to create a self-contained wundergraph project to reproduce the error, using the in-built graphql server. It is attached: wgtest.zip

To reproduce:

install dependencies with yarn
run with yarn start

Then visit the following URL: http://localhost:9991/operations/Hello

Expected behavior

The response from the server should be successfully returned to the caller.

For the attached project, that is: { "data": {"bar": {"type": "string"}} }

We know the solution and are currently implementing it.

I also encounter the same problem when the graphql server returns an JSON int literal for the value.
