Fill type data from multiple services

[ynonp]

Hi Bramble,

Working with shared types, I was able to get multiple services to fill the same type when it's in the root query, but could not get this to work when the object is in an inner query.

For example assume I have a "tasks" service and a "profiles" service, and each task can have an "owner" field which is a Profile.
Given the following schema for tasks:

directive @boundary on OBJECT | FIELD_DEFINITION

type Query {
  tasks(done: Boolean): [Task]
  task(id: String): Task
  service: Service!
  tasks__profile(id: ID!): Profile @boundary
}

type Profile @boundary {
  id: ID!
}

type Task {
  _id: String
  text: String
  done: Boolean
  owner: Profile
}

type Service {
  name: String! # unique name for the service
  version: String! # any string
  schema: String! # the full schema for the service
}

And this schema for a Profile service:

directive @boundary on OBJECT | FIELD_DEFINITION

type Query {
  service: Service!
  profile(id: ID!): Profile @boundary
  someone: Profile
}

type Profile @boundary {
  id: ID!
  first_name: String
  last_name: String
}

type Service {
  name: String! # unique name for the service
  version: String! # any string
  schema: String! # the full schema for the service
}

I have no problem using the someone query to get a profile and fill its fields from both services, but when I try to read the tasks and data about their owners such as:

query {
  tasks {
    text
    owner {
       id
       first_name
    }
  }
}

I will get just "null" as the result data.

If I remove first_name field from the query everything will work and I will get the correct id of the owner, so I assume tasks service works ok.

Is there a way to get bramble gateway to fill inner owner query from a different service?

Hey @ynonp, your schema looks valid to me and the query should work. Is Bramble logging out any error? Does the query response give out any error?

If I remove first_name field from the query everything will work and I will get the correct id of the owner, so I assume tasks service works ok.

OK, but what about the profile service? Is it getting called? What is it responding with?
