"Internal server error" when client send invalid query with unknown type

[LastDragon-ru]

Describe the bug / Expected behavior/Solution

Not sure this is lighthouse or graphql-php bug. But this is definitely not a server error so the Client should see the message about invalid query (eg "Unknown Type is not a valid/known type").

Steps to reproduce

1. Install laravel
2. Set APP_DEBUG=false
3. composer require nuwave/lighthouse
4. Use following schema

   type Query {
       users: [User!]! @all
   }
    
   type User {
       id: ID!
   }

5. php artisan serve
6. curl -g -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"query($unknown: UnknownType){users{id}}"}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/graphql

Output/Logs

{"errors":[{"message":"Internal server error","extensions":{"category":"schema"}}]}

So the client will never know what is wrong

Lighthouse Version

v5.57.0

[spawnia]

The fix for this depends on webonyx/graphql-php#1068 which will be available in graphql-php 15. If you are brave, you can try running #1898 - it will be available in Lighthouse v6.

[videni]

@spawnia Could you make that fix available on version ^5 please? currently, we are not able to upgrade to Laravel 8, we are still using Laravel 6.

[spawnia]

@videni no, it is too complicated and involves subtle breaking changes.

[spawnia]

This is fixed in master right now and will be released when v6 is ready.
