hello I’m just trying out the @nonnull directive and the docs seem to indicate that using it on a collection should make both the List and its type non-null, but what I am currently getting is a non-null list of a nullable type, i.e. items: [Item] -> val items : List<Item?> . anything I’m missing?

HI! Are you referring to this doc?

I think it is incorrect indeed!

[bod]

There are ongoing talks in the GraphQL specification to allow this in a standard way - but it's still early and Apollo Kotlin doesn't support it for now.

We also have this ticket for a similar idea of doing this.

Yep that was the example I was referring to. Thanks for clarifying!

I'll fix the misleading doc 🙂
