Description
This is discussed in the graphql specification here.
I noticed when using the GitHub API to test the changes I made for blockstring and descriptions. This API uses these quite a bit. Here's a little test I wrote to show the issue:
import XCTest
import GraphQL
final class graphQLTests: XCTestCase {
func testParseAmpersand() throws {
let source = #"""
"""
Represents a Git blob.
"""
type Blob implements Node & GitObject {
"""
An abbreviated version of the Git object ID
"""
abbreviatedOid: String!
"""
Byte size of Blob object
"""
byteSize: Int!
# other fields omitted
}
"""#
let doc = try parse(instrumentation: NoOpInstrumentation, source: Source(body: source))
for def in doc.definitions {
print( def.kind )
}
}
}
Outputs the error:
/Users/.../graphqltoolTests.swift:46: error: -[testParseAmpersand] : failed: caught error: "Syntax Error GraphQL (4:27) Unexpected character &.
3: """
4: type Blob implements Node & GitObject {
^
5: """
"
I will likely try to add support for this, but I don't think I'll have time this week.
