Describe the bug

After updating nuxt from 3.9.3 to 3.10.3 I'm getting this error:

$ pnpm typecheck

@some-user123 This was caused due to upstream changes in the graphql-request package (graffle-js/graffle#616), hence the dependencies for this module need to be updated.

For the time being you can manually install the dep as seen below to avoid the error:
pnpm add -D @graphql-codegen/typescript-graphql-request@6.2.0

[some-user123]

I was withholding nuxt updates so far because I don't like workarounds ;-) (In some weeks nobody knows, why the package was added and it will stay there forever...)

When can we expect a solution? Wouldn't it just be an update to the package.json of nuxt-graphql-client?

Meanwhile graphql-request 7 was released which causes module resolution issues - not sure, if this is related.

I'm still getting the error about graphql-request after trying this workaround.

[AngeloSchulerPiletti]

I am facing the same problem. I tried the solution proposed by @Diizzayy without success.

Furthermore, I also tried installed the "missing" packages without success.

Does anyone found a workaround for it?

@AngeloSchulerPiletti , @Diizzayy
I'm having the same issue, Installing graphql-request as a dev dependency seem to fix my issue, i'm not sure if it's the right thing to do.
