Gateway does not merge Query, Mutation and Subscription properly if `extend` is not used

[PacoDu]

The gateway doesn't merge services schema correctly if extend is not used. The following schemas:

type Notification {
  id: ID!
  message: String
}

type Query {
  notifications: [Notification]
}

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String
}

type Query {
  users: [User]
}

Produces:

directive @external on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @requires(fields: _FieldSet!) on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @provides(fields: _FieldSet!) on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @key(fields: _FieldSet!) on OBJECT | INTERFACE
directive @extends on OBJECT | INTERFACE

scalar _Any
scalar _FieldSet

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String
}

type Query {
  notifications: [Notification]
}

type Notification {
  id: ID!
  message: String
}

Current workaround: always use extend type Query/Mutation/Subscription for federated services. Related to: mercurius-js/mercurius#262

I don't have the time right now to investigate this issue, I'll try to fix the issue later if it hasn't been fixed yet.

Does anyone has experience with implementing the proposed workaround with nestjs/graphql or type-graphql? I also tried adding it in transformSchema, but the server doesn't start.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time right now to fix the issue, hence I need the workaround...

For future readers: The workaround was implemented in nestjs-mercurius. PR
