Not finding local schema extensions

[rokn]

Hey, I've tried adding a local client schema extension as described here: https://relay.dev/docs/guides/client-schema-extensions/

The problem arises when I try to compile a query which uses this extensions. I've set-up a tiny example repo which showcases the problem: https://github.com/rokn/relay-example-local-schema/

There is one schema in data/schema.graphql

And one extension schema in src/clientSchema.graphql

When I try to run the relay compiler I get the following error:

yarn run relay-compiler
yarn run v1.22.18
$ /home/rokn/relay-local-test/node_modules/.bin/relay-compiler
[INFO] querying files to compile...
[INFO] [default] compiling...

   12 │         notifications {
      │         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   13 │             title

[ERROR] Compilation failed.
[ERROR] Unable to run relay compiler. Error details:

If I add the extension schema to be part of the main schema there are no problems compiling it.

In relay-compiler document, we can set 'schemaExtensions' option. After setting 'schemaExtensions', my client schema extension worked. I guess the documentation need explicit explanation.

Thanks for reporting. I think @beingbook is right, and we need to update documentation to mention the schemaExtensions in the compiler configuration.

Yup, adding a folder which contains the schema extensions to the schemaExtensions property in my package.json worked.

Thanks for the report @rokn and the solution @beingbook. Would either of you like to like to contribute a fix to the docs?

Let me try documentation coming week.
