Setup is 100% per readme, nothing special. Editor is WebStorm, just in case.

Also I notice that progressbar never settles, it always shows XX pages In Progress.

Also I noticed that with the codegen running everything becomes extremely slow, dev pages open for seconds (instead of almost instantly).

I disabled the codegen option and the performance went back to normal, as well as the endless progress were no longer an issue.

Hi @kirill-konshin, thank you for opening an issue!

It looks like you're building typings into the src directory, which gatsby watches with no exception. For this reason a single edit triggers a loop, and likely contribute to the slowness you experience.

We mentioned this in the readme, but I think after many editing & moving things around it's no longer clear.

We'll detect src in user's custom filename and display a warning/error.

Makes sense. Thank you for prompt response. Placing the file into /types dir worked. And yes, documentation does not mention it...

Yeah I realized we only mentioned this in the plugin readme, in a fairly hidden table 😅 Thank you for bringing this issue to light!

I'm thinking we can also build this file to node_modules so you can import it as if it's a library i.e

- import { IndexQuery } from '../../graphql-types'
+ import { IndexQuery } from 'gatsby-types`

To me this looks like magic :) by default — maybe, but the check to not place it in src is a must.
