@forivall change seems reasonable to me, but can you share a reproduction that demonstrates the issue?

[forivall]

Here's my reproduction repository: https://github.com/forivall/gql-config-repro-workspace/tree/89204bd11c78655db950237db8264e205f624d90

setup: npm install -g graphql-language-service-cli and helix editor. helix has graphql-lsp support out of the box.

to reproduce, i first watch the helix logs via tail -f ~/.cache/helix/*.log | rg --max-columns 10000 graphql-language-service

and then run hx -vvv test-files/1.ts

Among the log lines, i will see

2026-04-17T09:52:55.949 helix_lsp::transport [INFO] graphql-language-service <- {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"window/logMessage","params":{"type":1,"message":"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"}}

and the error will not appear.

The expected behaviour, which is how it works when i apply my fix, is to show this error:

(the files for the above repo were adapted from the tests for graphql-codegen)
