Error: Unknown type whith a reference to a type in another file

[francoisromain]

I have 2 files: index.graphql and territoires.graphql.

index.graphql :

# import * from 'territoires.graphql'

type Query {
  pays: [Pays]
}

territoires.graphql

type Departement {
  id: ID!
}

type Region {
  id: ID!
  departements: [Departement]
}

type Pays {
  id: ID!
  regions: [Region]
}

The error is

/node_modules/graphql/validation/validate.js:108
throw new Error(errors.map(function (error) {
          ^
Error: Unknown type "Departement".

If I don't use a separate file and put everything in index.graphql like so, there is no error:

type Query {
  pays: [Pays]
}

type Departement {
  id: ID!
}

type Region {
  id: ID!
  departements: [Departement]
}

type Pays {
  id: ID!
  regions: [Region]
}

This issue was originally opened here: ardatan/graphql-import#601. I think to belongs to graphql-tools.

Thank you

Hi there,
Is there any follow-up or work in progress on this issue? I have got a similar case.
I have just migrated from writing SDL entirely in strings to dedicated .gql files to increase maintainability and code readability by having code Prettier and Highlighter in my editor.
However now I run into the same problem as @francoisromain
Sometimes I cant even successfully import a type that explicitly existed in one file. The error message is no different:

Error: Unknown type "PointReward". Did you mean "CouponReward"?

I have tried moving PointReward to the same file with the Type that uses it. Just like the above case with type "Departement" that is used directly on the same file. The error persists with the same message.
Hope to get a resolution soon since the official documentation doesn't tell much about it.
