HotChocolate 13 - Unable to infer or resolve a schema type from the type reference `@CostDirective`

Yesterday I talked about measuring and monitoring the operational complexity of your GraphQL operations. I talked specifically about the custom HotChocolate cost directive as a way to assign a complexity to a field.

However after upgrading an ASP.NET Core GraphQL api to HotChocolate 13, the GraphQL schema could no longer be loaded. Instead I got the following error message back:

HotChocolate.SchemaException: For more details look at the `Errors` property.
Unable to infer or resolve a schema type from the type reference `@CostDirective`. (IRD3.API.GraphQL.LandbouwerType) at HotChocolate.Configuration.TypeInitializer.DiscoverTypes()

at HotChocolate.AspNetCore.HttpPostMiddlewareBase.InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)

Based on the documentation, everything should work and the code that was working for HotChocolate 12 should also work for 13.

It cost me a lot of time to figure out a solution, but in the end (as always) it was quite simple. I updated the bootstrapping code to explicitly register the cost directive:

Remark: I encountered the problem in HotChocolate 13.9.6. Maybe the issue is already fixed in a newer version when you read this post.(Fingers crossed)

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
