Answer 1

I had the same issue and found the solution on this page: https://bartwullems.blogspot.com/2021/10/graphqlstrawberry-shake-graphql-client.html

First, your screenshot shows no query created. You need first to create a query file, like for example AddMovieData.graphql

query FetchGenreList{ genreList{ genreId, genreName } }

You need to edit the properties of AddMovieData.graphql and set the build action for the graphql file to GraphQL compiler.

Any idea why the GraphQL Compiler does show up in the build actions? Is there another package that needs to be installed? – Kalamazoo

Answer 2

Adding onto Fuzzycheck's response. I encountered an issue where I couldn't set the build action to GraphQL Compiler. You can get around this by going into the .csproj file and adding:

<ItemGroup>
    <None Update="GraphQL\AddMovieData.graphql">
        <Generator>MSBuild:GenerateGraphQLCode</Generator>
    </None>
<ItemGroup>

I noticed this is an issue with VS2022. With Rider it generates the right code in the csproj and generates the graphql c# code.
