Explorer successfully executes queries but won't load the schema

[kozak-codes]

Intended outcome:

When I visit the explorer I should have an up to date schema from the API. I see errors when loading a query from the "Queries" tab however the query executes at my endpoint successful.

Actual outcome:

I have the default schema (id, __typename) - there is no way that I can reload the schema.

How to reproduce the issue:

My endpoint is at localhost:4200/api/graphql. I have a custom httpLink and webSocket link, however I have also set the URI to localhost:4200/api/graphql and connectToDevTools: true - Authentication is not required to load the schema, and I'm able to successfully load it from apollo playground (at localhost:4200/api/graphql) when not authenticated.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20
• Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]: Brave
• Browser version [e.g. 22]: Version 1.41.100 Chromium: 103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Extension version [e.g. 3.0] 4.1.2

Alright, so I found the "typeDefs" property on the ApolloClientOptions and I also figured out how to generate the type defs via graphql codegen - I had to make a JS version that escaped backticks (eg code examples in comments) but it's still not the most robust. I'm now able to view my schema in the explorer.

This either isn't documented anywhere or I'm completely missing something? There has to be a way that, like Apollo Playground, the extension can run an introspection query and generate the typeDefs itself?
