Hey all, I’m trying to test locally an extension on a type that is owned by another service. In my local playground I’m trying to use this query to be able to test the local extension

query {
  _entities(representations: [{ __typename: Place, id: "some-id" }]) {
    ... on Place {
      people {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

however this responds with a "Unable to resolve federated type, representation={__typename=Store, id=kl;fdjas}"
error.

Am I going about this the right way? Is there a way to test locally extensions on a type without somehow spinning up an Apollo server with the other services?

yes you should be able to send those queries ( _entities query would be sent the federated gateway)

sounds like an issue with the representation array?

forgot to add the resolver to schema generation hooks… 🤦
