Spring Boot with GraphQL server not starting

Question

type Person {
    id: ID
    name: String!
    contact: Contact
}

type Query {
    countPersons: Long!
    findByName(name: String!): [Person]!
    findAllPerson: [Person]!
}

type Contact {
    id: ID
    emailId: String
    mobileNumber: String!
}

extend type Query {
    findAllContact: [Contact]!
    countContacts: Long!
    findByMobileNumber(mobileNumber: String!): [Contact]!
    findByEmailId(emailId: String!): [Contact]!
}

    @Column(name="contact_mobile_number", nullable = false)
    private String mobileNumber;

    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "contact")
    private Person person;

}

public class Query implements GraphQLQueryResolver {

    private final PersonRepository personRepository;
    private final ContactRepository contactRepository;

    public Query(PersonRepository personRepository, ContactRepository contactRepository) {
        this.personRepository = personRepository;
        this.contactRepository = contactRepository;
    }

    public Iterable<Person> findAllPerson() {
        return personRepository.findAll();
    }
}

Getting error on starting server:

com.coxautodev.graphql.tools.SchemaClassScannerError: Unable to match type definition (NonNullType{type=ListType{type=TypeName{name='Person'}}}) with java type (class com.demo.graphql.entities.Person): Java class is not a List or generic type information was lost: class com.demo.graphql.entities.Person

The application starts after commenting out findByName and findAllPersonfindAllPerson in query:

type Query {
    countPersons: Long!
    # findByName(name: String!): [Person]!
    # findAllPerson: [Person]!
}

I think the issue is with [Person] in query response which is a list of person.

Answer 1

Looking in the shared repo:

public Person findByName(String name) {
    return personRepository.findByName(name);
}

The resolver is returning a single Person class object but the schema expects a list of Person.

Try changing the schema to:

findByName(name: String!): Person!
