}

Query:

query {
  strings {
    nodes
  }
}

What is expected?

An error message saying You must provide a `first` value to properly paginate the `StringsConnection`.

What is actually happening?

An error message saying You must provide a `first` or `last` value to properly paginate the `StringsConnection`.

Relevant log output

No response

Additional context

Edge case: When using manual pagination (explicit first/after arguments), I guess AllowBackwardPagination does nothing, so in that case the message should be determined based on the presence or absence of the last argument.
