GraphQL Nested Children error ( is used outside the scope of its declaration )

[develth]

API Platform version(s) affected: 3.0

Description
When query an item that have an nested set ( what i solved with Doctrine Extensions Nested Set ) and want to make query with children, following error appears:

[Semantical Error] line 0, col 89 near 'o_a6.id = m_a7.deletedBy': Error: 'o_a6' is used outside the scope of its declaration.

The Request via REST is sucessful.
Debuggin braught me LinksHandlerTrait, that wants to make sub query to fields that have a manyToOne relation on this object.

How to reproduce

• DoctrineExtension with a NestedSet
• Query an Item with Children and that have a manyToOne relation to another Object

Additional Context

GraphQL Query:

query listTreeItemsQuery($treeItem: ID!) {
  treeItem(id: $treeItem) {
          id
          name
          children{
              totalCount
          }
        
  }
}

Further Information:
It tries to add the failing fields that are outside the scope in following line:

core/src/Doctrine/Orm/State/LinksHandlerTrait.php

Line 98 in d6112e2

$queryBuilder->join(

There it seems, that $link->getFromClass() and $previousAlias are the same and does not point to the referenced relation

Same here in 2.7. It looks like 2.7 and 3.0 have so many issues with graphql that I don't think they are proper releases. I battled with 3.0 for more than a day, then went back to 2.7 and despite the small progress (now it at least returns responses in less than 300 seconds), the issues keep popping. There are some forks that supposedly 'fix' graphql issues, but they only take you that far. GraphQL keeps looking more and more like an afterthought with api-platform. And let's be real here, creating a serious API with REST is so 2000s it's not even funny.

Did someone saw a solution (in a fork) for this specific issue mentioned here?

Give a try to #5001 (comment), It solved a similar case and I don't have any issues currently.
Then you're welcome to add tests to my pending PRs :)

Sorry, I gave up and went back to 2.6.x. Good luck.

@alanpoulain will there be a fix for that in the near future?

[alanpoulain]

The fix is probably here, I need to take some time to review it: #5169.

[develth]

no really, because currently i get:

 "debugMessage": "More than one result was found for query although one row or none was expected.",

It wants to use the ItemProvider for the child collection

[develth]

IMHO its caused by this @alanpoulain

https://github.com/api-platform/core/blob/v3.0.4/src/GraphQl/Type/FieldsBuilder.php#L265

especially:

$rootOperation->getClass() !== $resourceClass

With Children, both are same and it will decide everytime for ItemProvider instead of Collection

[alanpoulain]

The issue is more like, why this line gives you false, isn't it?

core/src/GraphQl/Type/FieldsBuilder.php

Line 253 in c62f66c

$isCollectionType = $this->typeBuilder->isCollection($type);

[develth]

The issue is more like, why this line gives you false, isn't it?

it is true

That is why it gets here

 $resourceClass = $collectionValueType->getClassName();

and gehts the Class of the Model, what is the same as the parent and does think its also needed for the ItemProvider

[alanpoulain]

OK it's because the root class is the same as the child class.
Maybe it needs a check on the depth instead.

[develth]

or just use the collectionCheck here, too?

Are there any news on this topic? I'd like to update my application to ApiPlatform v3, but this bug blocks this update. Do you need any additional information to reproduce the problem? The fix in #5169 does not work for me
