HotChocolate GraphQL–Include Exception details

By default the HotChocolate GraphQL server does not expose any exception details when an errors occurs. The only information you get back is the following:

	{
	"errors": [
	{
	"message": "Unexpected Execution Error"
	}
	]
	}

This is of course a good idea from a security endpoint but not very helpful when you want to investigate a problem.

In order to automatically add exception details to your GraphQL error you can switch the execution option to include exception details:

	services.AddGraphQLServer()
	.ModifyRequestOptions(o =>
	{
	// 👇 Include Exception Details on the development environment
	o.IncludeExceptionDetails = _environment.IsDevelopment();
	o.Complexity.Enable = true;
	o.Complexity.MaximumAllowed = 250;
	});

Remark: When a debugger is attached this behavior is changed automatically and exception details are included.
