Managing Pull Requests

GraphQL Inspector runs a change detection on every Pull Request. It matches the target branch with the one defined in the Inspector configuration.

In cases of multiple environments, it iterates over all of them and compares a target branch of the Pull Request. In single environments is less complex.

When GraphQL Inspector succeeds and finds the associated environment, it detects changes between source and target schemas. If a Pull Request is not related to any environment, the same thing happens.

The described approach may get you into trouble because usually, you don’t want to reject Pull Requests that are not (yet) affecting your environments.

This is why Inspector lets you still run the change detection but without rejecting those Pull Requests. You just need to turn off the failOnBreaking flag.

Single environment

You keep all the options but disable the failOnBreaking flag.

diff:
  annotations: true
schema: schema.graphql
branch: master'
 
others:
  diff:
    failOnBreaking: false

Multiple environments

You keep all the global options but disable the failOnBreaking flag.

diff:
  annotations: true
schema: schema.graphql
 
env:
  production:
    branch: master
  preview:
    branch: develop
 
others:
  diff:
    failOnBreaking: false

Disabling GitHub Action

It’s simple, use the fail-on-breaking input.
