`graphql-language-server@5.3.0` causes type errors with `graphql@16.9.0`

[phryneas]

This happened over in apollographql/vscode-graphql#175 (failing CI job):

node_modules/graphql-language-service/dist/parser/types.d.ts:116:37 - error TS2694: Namespace 'Kind' has no exported member 'LIST_NULLABILITY_OPERATOR'.

116     LIST_NULLABILITY_OPERATOR: Kind.LIST_NULLABILITY_OPERATOR;
                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/graphql-language-service/dist/parser/types.d.ts:117:30 - error TS2694: Namespace 'Kind' has no exported member 'NON_NULL_ASSERTION'.

117     NON_NULL_ASSERTION: Kind.NON_NULL_ASSERTION;

                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll open a PR to backport these enum members, as that seems to be the easiest way to prevent this

I think the main issue here is that graphql-language-service is using a newer alpha of graphql-js which has breaking changes included 😅 I don't see backporting as a viable option here as this will cause people to defensively code around options that would never be present.

It's even an || which means that the root job doesn't have graphql pinned https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/blob/main/packages/vscode-graphql/package.json#L182

[phryneas]

graphql-language-service has very broad peerDependencies: "graphql": "^15.5.0 || ^16.0.0 || ^17.0.0-alpha.2"

So it doesn't seem to depend on these at all - or that package.json is wrong.

See https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/pull/3682/files#diff-3c54a63be7298ecf874f61083633f9e943a5f606cdd5268e0c60520a4cdcd7b1

Exactly, I wouldn't consider that to be a reason to shoehorn those enum-members into a release that doesn't use them. The underlying issue here is that there's something not marked as external correctly as you can see in https://app.renovatebot.com/package-diff?name=graphql-language-service&from=5.2.2&to=5.3.0 - it's bundling in the kind types of their graphql devDep

[phryneas]

Wait... they are bundling the types? Oh boy.
