Licensing issues with dependencies

[selfagency]

The following dependencies of Apollo Server/Apollo Client are throwing errors in my licensing compliance tools because they do not contain LICENSE files. Could you please add the appropriate licenses? Thank you.

• @apollographql/graphql-language-service-interface
• @apollographql/graphql-language-service-parser
• @apollographql/graphql-language-service-types
• @apollographql/graphql-language-service-utils

@selfagency Hi, good catch. These are forks of packages from https://github.com/graphql/graphiql that we haven't updated in a while, and the upstream didn't have licenses on them until graphql/graphiql#849

Will look into publishing versions with MIT license, but to check — are you sure that these are actually dependencies of Apollo Server? I don't actually think Apollo Server 3 depends on these, even transitively. Can you share a package-lock.json that shows that these were pulled in?

I think they are used by the apollo CLI, which we are in the process of fully deprecating.

(apollographql/apollo-tooling#1553 and apollographql/apollo-tooling#2089 are relevant to the CLI here. Going to figure out why @hwillson closed the latter recently. That said, the main fix here is killing off the apollo CLI. Are you using the apollo CLI, and for which commands?

[selfagency]

Here's the first one

And here are the other three

So it's all coming in through apollo-language-server which is coming through apollo

Yeah, apollo is the CLI that we are finally going to make the push to fully deprecate. It should not be a dependency of Apollo Server, so I'm going to close this issue; the other issues I linked are more relevant to apollo. That said, do you know what commands you use apollo for? I can advise on whether there are better replacements for them yet or if we're still in the process of making that transition possible.

[selfagency]

It appears it's vue-cli-apollo that is using the apollo cli.

[selfagency]

Aaaaand finally, vue-cli-apollo is a dependency of @nuxtjs/apollo. So it seems the official Vue and Nuxt integrations for Apollo are dependent on a deprecated feature.

[selfagency]

Anyhow, thanks for your help.

[glasser]

Thanks. Yeah, it looks like vue-cli-plugin-apollo depends on a lot of older stuff: the apollo CLI, Apollo Client 2 (AC3 was released over a year ago), Apollo Server 2, etc.

[selfagency]

Looks like it hasn't been updated for over a year (15 mos). Ouch.

[selfagency]

Appears other Nuxt users have noticed as well.
