An issue with the Apollo Federation dependency.

[NeutronScott12]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Well, I don't know if I should be bugging Apollo or you guys, but all of a sudden I got this error -

The "@apollo/federation/dist/directives" package is missing. Please, make sure to install this library ($ npm install @apollo/federation/dist/directives) to take advantage of SchemaBuilder

I tried re-installing node_modules, checking for newer versions. I haven't check older versions, but I haven't updated for at least a week, so it's a weird problem.

I suspect either some change happened to your Graphql module or apollo changed something.

"@nestjs/graphql": "^9.0.5"

It could be a yarn workspace issue as well, so many edge cases.

Hey! Apollo maintainer here — I just want to draw the connection to the same issue that was also opened on the Apollo Federation repository, where I responded to @OGNeutron: apollographql/federation#1065.

This internal module has been moved from the @apollo/federation to the @apollo/subgraph package. If you have a chance to explain the use-case for needing it, it'd be good to add perspective to the issue I linked so we can consider use-cases for exporting it! In the meantime, you'll want to pin to an earlier version of @apollo/federation that still has the module in the dist/ subpath, or consider updating to @apollo/subgraph instead (you should update anyhow, but would still generally advise against importing from the subpath as we don't consider that stable API surface area!) Thanks!

I can confirm, needed to the downgrade apollo/federation to 0.33.0

I can confirm, needed to the downgrade apollo/federation to 0.33.0

I checked @nestjs/graphql in node_modules and it's the same as well, but still getting the same problem.

[kamilmysliwiec]

Just make sure to use 0.33.0 instead of 0.33.1 and you should be fine.

[NeutronScott12]

That doesn't seem like a solution either, I deleted all node_modules, cleared yarn cache, removed lock files and then re-installed, went to check node_modules saw that apollo/federation was 0.33.0 and still got this issue.

*Got it working, all good, have a nice day peeps.

Let's track this here #1797

[abernix]

I agree that #1797 is a step in the right direction (and the follow-up suggestion that it makes is appropriate, too!)
