Broken typescript for schemas using nested modules with undefined parent module

[furelid]

Describe the bug The @gel/generate edgeql-js tool generates incomplete models for gel schemas using nested modules where a child module has no valid parent, for clarity:

• myModule
• myModule::config
• myModule::config::option
• myModule::nestedModule::anotherNestedModule <-- has no "parent" module named "nestedModule"

Reproduction

# ./dbschema/default.gel
module company {
  type Company {
    required property name -> str;
    multi link employees -> company::Employee;
  }

  type Employee {
    required property name -> str;
    required link company -> company::Company;
    required link people -> company::employee::people::People;
  }
}

module company::employee::people {
  type People {
    required property first_name -> str;
    required property last_name -> str;
    multi link employment -> company::Employee;
  }
}

// ./index.ts
import e from './dbschema/edgeql-js';

const getEmployees = () =>
  e.select(
    e.company.Employee,
    () => e.company.Employee['*'],
  );

/*
 * e.company.employee is defined as 'any'
 * need to import person module with absolute path
 * import person from './dbschema/edgeql-js/modules/company/employee/person';
 * 
 * const getPeople = () =>
 *   e.select(
 *    person.Person,
 *    () => person.Person['*'],
 *  )
 */

Expected behavior @gel/generate edgeql-js should either throw error that the defined schema is incorrect, or create an abstract module that forward the child module correctly to ensure nested modules are accessible through the undefined, but specified, parents.

Yep, super helpful! We should always create a module if it's defined, even if it's empty. Will fix!
