Name clash / redeclaration using data builders

[sampengilly]

Version

3.8.2

Summary

In my GraphQL schema I have two existing types named like: "SomeType" and "SomeTypeMap". When enabling data builders, Apollo Kotlin generates a class for my "SomeTypeMap" but it also generates its own "SomeTypeMap" interface associated with "SomeType" as part of the data builder codegen.

This creates a redeclaration error in the kotlin compiler.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Thanks for reporting this. That's unfortunate! Maybe the generated map could have a name with a __ prefix to avoid clashes.

~~It's not ideal, but what you could do for now is rename SomeTypeMap in your schema to something else.~~

Actually you can also use the @targetName directive so the generated class for your type gets a name that doesn't clash. In an extra.graphqls file next to your shema, something like:

extend type SomeTypeMap @targetName(name: "SomeTypeMap2")

Ah, that might help as a workaround in the meantime. Thanks for the heads up
