Juniper: having a variable named 'args' in a function leads to weird error messages

Created on 14 Dec 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: graphql-rust/juniper

I had a variable I'd named "args" in a function. It lead to a whole bunch of compile errors on an unrelated variable when the juniper::graphql_object macro was unpacked.

It would be nice to have an error message that detects reserved words in an argument list.

We should make these hermetic or mangle the names to make it work.

Do you happen to have a quick repro and the error message?

I had a function whose header was basically this:

[juniper::graphql_object(Context = Context)]

impl TestMutation {
async fn run_task_test(
context: &Context,
jobname: String,
taskname: String,
fsname: String,
args: String,
fidlist: Vec,
) -> juniper::FieldResult {
func(fidlist);
};
....

The errors were:

--> example.rs:57:1

As you can see errors don't really point to "try renaming 'args'" as the solution.
