Current behavior

There is a problem with dependencies.

node_modules/@nestjs/graphql/dist/interfaces/gql-gateway-module-options.interface.d.ts:1:58 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@apollo/gateway' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { GatewayConfig, ServiceEndpointDefinition } from '@apollo/gateway';
                                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't understand why it doesn't get loaded by Yarn. You have to add @apollo/gateway explicitly as dev dependency to your project.

[sgarner]

Same problem here.

@apollo/gateway is not a dependency of apollo-server, apollo-server-express, or apollo-server-core, so it's not going to get loaded into our projects automatically.

@nestjs/graphql depends on @apollo/gateway only as a devDependency. I think this is a bug? Since this downstream package actually appears to be required for builds of projects consuming @nestjs/graphql, it should be either a dependency or peerDependency, or the requirement should be eliminated somehow.

This issue should be fixed in 7.4.6. Let me know if you still face any errors.

[piotr-pawlowski]

@kamilmysliwiec It works properly. Thanks for quick fix!

[sgarner]

Thank you @kamilmysliwiec - that's fixed it. :+1:

[FlxEd]

Hello, sorry to bother @kamilmysliwiec, but it doesn't seems fixed for me in 7.4.6 :/
This is fresh project on Windows. Whether with latest graphql version 15 or stable 14.6.0 it doesn't work out of the box.

I have added @apollo/gateway as advised above and it works then :)

Ran into this issue today when checking out code onto a laptop i dont use as often. Fixed by updating Node to latest version, and reinstalling packages.

[akucharczyk]

I had the same issue. I had everything up to date, but my node version was v10.x.x. I need to upgrade my local node version to the latest LTS (v12.18.2) and now it works. Maybe it helps someone.

[esistgut]

I can confirm the bug with Node 12 LTS on Archlinux.

[razorness]

This error is back since v7.5.2. v7.5.1 is last working version.

[abosaiftaha]

error solved by updating each of these packages
@nestjs/common @nestjs/core @nestjs/platform-express to 7.4.4

[htndev]

For nvm

I solved my problem by installing node 14.0.0.

[trgkyle]

tha

For nvm

I solved my problem by installing node 14.0.0.

thanks, it works for me

[ilkaydnc]

I tried with Node 15.12.0, 14.16.0, and 14.0.0 but I still got the same errors.

This solution solved my errors too

error solved by updating each of these packages
@nestjs/common @nestjs/core @nestjs/platform-express to 7.4.4

[iamelru]

Still can replicate by following the Introduction Alternatives guide.
Cloned the repo and got the same error.

@kamilmysliwiec could you check this, please? Thank you!

[fabioespinosa]

I was using node version:
FROM node:15.2.0-alpine3.10
changed to
FROM node:14.16.0-alpine3.10

and it worked.

[jamesweb1]

I was using node version:

FROM node:14.16.0-alpine3.10

and it worked.

Thanks for your reply, and I face the same issue after upgrading the node to 15.x.x. and I downgrade to the following versions now:

node v14.16.1
nom 6.14.12

It works now.

[paulhill]

I just got this error when doing a minor upgrade to
"@nestjs/graphql": "^7.10.3"
"apollo-server-express": "^2.22.2"

reinstalled everything, nvm use 14, npm clean-install and it's running again.
Seems to be busted in Node 15

[thebarefootdev]

Fresh install on node 15 and latest libs with apollo etc, still get the same error. Fixed by separately installing @apollo/gateway. I assume then this issue has not yet been fixed?

[mrrhak]

I solved my problem by downgrade version of node to v14.16.1 and delete node_modules folder and install it again in my project it worked now.

[douglas-pires]

It looks like @apollo/gateway is currently unsupported in node >= 15... They have a plan to update the package when node 16 turns LTS. Here for more info.

However, if you are really into making it work in node version >= 15, and If you are in a controlled environment, you can do rm -rf node_modules && yarn --ignore-engines. But again, it's not recommended, but it works if you are, as in my case, doing a side project or something.

[abernix]

Seems relevant to share here: As of the landing of apollographql/federation#713, we're now testing @apollo/gateway with Node.js 16 and since those tests are passing, the latest versions of the @apollo/gateway (0.28.0) and @apollo/federation (0.24.0) packages have just been published with Node.js 16 in their supported engines range for node.

[simultsop]

This issue occurs also with node 16

[aydearcas]

Getting this error with node 16 also, gonna try downgrading to versions 14.16.xxx

[hantsy]

Get the same error with NodeJS 16 and the following dependencies.

  "dependencies": {
    "@nestjs/common": "^7.6.15",
    "@nestjs/core": "^7.6.15",
    "@nestjs/graphql": "^7.10.6",
    "@nestjs/platform-express": "^7.6.15",
    "apollo-server": "^2.24.0",
    "apollo-server-express": "^2.24.0",
    "graphql": "^15.5.0",
    "graphql-query-complexity": "^0.8.1",
    "graphql-subscriptions": "^1.2.1",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.13",
    "rimraf": "^3.0.0",
    "rxjs": "^6.6.7"
  },

[aydearcas]

I went back to node LTS (14.17) and it now works as intended!!

[dlvx]

I was having this problem while using Node v16.4.2. Problem solved using lts/fermium (v14.17.3)

[andersonmadeira]

I fear this issue is not fixed yet, since i'm facing this with what seems to be a up-date version: ^8.0.2
Also my node version should be compatible according to what others said here: v14.16.0
I tried npm and yarn, neither worked. :/

[beyerleinf]

@andersonmadeira Just encountered the same problem
