We are removing a non-standard extension to our GraphQL processor, which we added for backwards compatibility. This extension modifies the validation of GraphQL queries, allowing the use of the `ID` type for arguments where it would normally be rejected.
Some arguments originally had the type `ID`. These were changed to specific
kinds of `ID`. This change may be a breaking change if you:
- Use GraphQL.
- Use the `ID` type for any argument in your query signatures.
Some field arguments still have the `ID` type. These are typically for
IID values, or namespace paths. An example is `Query.project(fullPath: ID!)`.
For a list of affected and unaffected field arguments,
see the [deprecation issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/352832).
You can test if this change affects you by validating
your queries locally, using schema data fetched from a GitLab server.
You can do this by using the GraphQL explorer tool for the relevant GitLab
instance. For example: `https://gitlab.com/-/graphql-explorer`.
For example, the following query illustrates the breaking change:
```graphql
# a query using the deprecated type of Query.issue(id:)
# WARNING: This will not work after GitLab 15.0
query($id: ID!) {
deprecated: issue(id: $id) {
title, description
}
}
```
The query above will not work after GitLab 15.0 is released, because the type
of `Query.issue(id:)` is actually `IssueID!`.
Instead, you should use one of the following two forms:
```graphql
# This will continue to work
query($id: IssueID!) {
a: issue(id: $id) {
title, description
}
b: issue(id: "gid://gitlab/Issue/12345") {
title, description
}
}
```
This query works now, and will continue to work after GitLab 15.0.
You should convert any queries in the first form (using `ID` as a named type in the signature)
to one of the other two forms (using the correct appropriate type in the signature, or using
an inline argument expression).
