Incomprehensive Error Message when using @list in a query and type not defined

[kuihlein]

Describe the bug

I had a table and a matching query (external file) and everything worked fine. I deleted the table (in hasura) and forgot to remove the matching query, when running houdini again I got the following error, which I couldn't assign to any file or code changes.

Query with @list:

query Organisations {
   Organisation @list(name:"All_Organisations"){
        id
        name
        abbreviation
        legalForm
    }
}

Error Message for query with @list:

> [email protected] generate
> houdini generate -v -p -ph x-hasura-admin-secret=blablabla

After a while, I discovered by coincidence that I have a query that I don't need anymore and deleted it. It then worked again. Further investigation revealed that the error is displayed directly if you do not use @list in your query.

Query wihtout @list:

query Organisations {
   Organisation {
        id
        name
        abbreviation
        legalForm
    }
}

Error Message for query without @list:

> [email protected] generate
> houdini generate -v -p -ph x-hasura-admin-secret=blablabla

Severity

annoyance

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

1. Create a query in an external file without a matching type (in my case without a matching table in hasura) and use @list
2. run houdini generate -v -p -ph x-hasura-admin-secret=blablabla
3. Read the unprecise/incomplete error message
4. Create a query in an external file without a matching type (in my case without a matching table in hasura) and not use @list
5. run houdini generate -v -p -ph x-hasura-admin-secret=blablabla
6. Read the precise error message including the note to the problematic file

Expected behavior

I expect the same error message, or reference to the incorrect file, as when I do not use @list in the query.

System Info

houdini: ^0.15.8 (and ^0.15.9)
