BC break with GraphQL\Server\ServerConfig::setValidationRules signature in 14.11.7

[andrew-demb]

Signature of GraphQL\Server\ServerConfig::setValidationRules (

graphql-php/src/Server/ServerConfig.php

Line 213 in 688c6b7

public function setValidationRules($validationRules): self

) has been changed in v14.11.7.

Signature in v14.11.6 -

graphql-php/src/Server/ServerConfig.php

Line 168 in 6070542

public function setValidationRules($validationRules)

) were not declared explicit return type.

As of this method marked as @api there were expectations about strong BC promise.
For now this update breaks thecodingmachine/graphqlite-bundle https://github.com/thecodingmachine/graphqlite-bundle/blob/3ae908cc814dfa7283d869789db5852a200a46aa/Server/ServerConfig.php#L27

Proposed solution: revert changing method signature and apply this change only with next major version bump with changelog

[RikvdHeijden]

This version breaks basically every class that extends from this library in some way. Notable Magento 2 that extends the types and now throws an error because the $name attributes has suddenly been typed as a string.

I think the problem is that the release has been made from the wrong branch, from master, but should have been from the 14.x branch.

Because that type change was done last year… but we had a release in April, not containing it.

Is that possible?

Yup, that is it - my bad. Will fix ASAP.

Other problems we run into:

• Type of App\GraphQL\Type\EmailType::$description must be ?string (as in class GraphQL\Type\Definition\ScalarType) (could be fixed in our project)
• Access to an undefined property GraphQL\Type\Definition\Type::$name (could be fixed in our project)
• But worst: Overblog\DataLoader\Promise\Adapter\Webonyx\GraphQL\SyncPromiseAdapter::beforeWait(GraphQL\Executor\Promise\Promise $promise) must be compatible with GraphQL\Executor\Promise\Adapter\SyncPromiseAdapter::beforeWait(GraphQL\Executor\Promise\Promise $promise): void Requires Update in 3rdParty-Project: overblog/dataloader-php

Best field test ever 😅

Basically what everyone got was/is 15.x .

Not sure if it's meant to be, but https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php/blob/master/UPGRADE.md#v14xx--v15xx does not list those things; it only has 2 items.

Possibly related: rebing/graphql-laravel#944

Sorry for the trouble everybody, I just fixed the release to point to a tag on the correct branch - see https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php/releases/tag/v14.11.7. You might need to remove your composer.lock file and re-run composer update in order to get the fixed version.

@spawnia can you release a new patch release to avoid manual work with refetching same version with different hash with composer?

The changelog should list all breaking changes, not all of them are properly documented.
