Hi @idkjs ! Which version of apollo-server do you have installed?

[dotansimha]

@Urigo can you take a look? maybe something has changed in apollo-server?

[idkjs]

using the version in package.json, 2.13.1

i'm following a tutorial and had this issue, but its version was at 2.19.0 for apollo-server-express which appears to be a separate npm module from Apollo-server. Once i installed the apollo-server-express plugin at the version 2.19.0 the issue went away, hope this helps.
