gql string with embedded expression

[earnubs]

When linting a template literal with an embedded expression, graphql-eslint suffers a parse failure because the field is empty at the point of parsing:

gql`
    enum Foo {
        ${big_list_of_things_I_computed_elsewhere}
    }
`

Is this something I can address via config or a feature request?

@dotansimha @B2o5T Maybe we should ignore this kind of codes automatically. There is no way to parse these.

@earnubs You can add ignore annotations to that code for now because we will never be able to parse it correctly.

@ardatan I don't think you can ignore these because it's a parse failure? but maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm assuming you mean something like wrapping the enum in # eslint-disable / enable comments?

[earnubs]

@B2o5T With a regex to skip, I think the next problem I'd have is from the point of view of eslint, the enum/type would be empty in this case. So it might mean that the empty type rule would also need to be relaxed at this point too?

I think eslint comment # eslint-disable don’t work because graphql-tag-pluck receive code like

enum Foo {

}

And this is invalid code because enum don’t contain any fields, so parser breaks. I think if you add path to this file to .eslintignore eslint will completely ignore this file for parsing and linting

[earnubs]

What I meant was:

# eslint-disable
enum Foo {
  ${stuff}
}
# eslint-enable

but this doesn't work, I think, because it would need to be parsed first in order to work, and we have a parse error :)

Ignoring the whole file does work, it's never parsed in that case.

The other things that does "work", but is not useful to me (but maybe someone else), is adding an obviously wrong value to make eslint happy:

enum Foo {
 __IGNORE_ME__
 ${stuff}
}

Hi @earnubs, currently it’s not possible because for extracting documents from code under the hood we use graphql-tag-pluck that don't support string interpolation for this moment.
