generate panic when @requires with a union is being used

[grzn]

We have something like this in our schema

extend type SomeType @key(fields: "id") {
  id: ID! @external
  someField @requires(fields: "anotherField { unionField { ... on typeA { field1 } } }")
}

when we add unionField to requires then go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen generate panics:

federation: template.gotpl: template: template.gotpl:199:54: executing "template.gotpl" at <.Type.UnmarshalFunc>: error calling UnmarshalFunc: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

[grzn]

hmmm, not sure why yet, and if its works as expected in rutime, but with

options:
  explicit_requires: true

generate works.

[grzn]

with computed_requires it works as well; closing

[grzn]

Reopening, because when adding __typename is panics:

extend type SomeType @key(fields: "id") {
  id: ID! @external
  someField @requires(fields: "anotherField { unionField { __typename ... on typeA { field1 } } }")
}

go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Have you tried it with latest gqlgen and found it still occurs? There were a few changes that might fix your problem.

If the problem still occurs with the latest version, do you have a public repository where I can attempt to re-create this problem? I'm not able to help much when I can't
