Describe the bug

I am attempting to write a graphql config that will auto-generate typescript code based on embedded gql templates in .ts files.
I have found a bug that is caused by .d.ts (typescript type definitions files) also being included in the documents glob.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use a configuration that includes .ts files. In this example, a .d.ts file may exist in src/global.d.ts.

---
projects:
  jellybean:
    schema: schema.graphql
    documents:
    - src/**/*.jellybean.{graphql,gql}
    - src/**/*.tsx
    - src/**/*.ts
    extensions:
      codegen:
        generates:
          generated-api.ts:
            plugins:
            - typescript
            - typescript-operations
            - typescript-react-query

This config errors with:

Could not parse the TypeScript file at src/global.d.ts to extract the graphql tags
SyntaxError: Unexpected token (3:28)

Things I have tried:

• Adding a documents entry: "!(**/*.d.ts)"
• Adding the negation in the document rule itself: src/**/!(.d)*.ts
• Adding an exclude entry under jellybean, e.g. exclude: "**/*.d.ts"
• Adding an absolute path to the file that needs to be excluded. e.g. exclude: 'src/global.d.ts'

All of these have had no effect and .d.ts files are always included. I can only fix it by removing the src/**/*.ts entry.

Expected behavior

.d.ts files should be excluded and everything should work like magic.

Environment:

• OS: macOS 12.5.1 (x86_64)
• GraphQL Config Version: 4.3.5 (via @graphql-codegen/cli@2.11.8)
• NodeJS: v18.8.0

Additional context

[mwahlhuetter]

Im experiencing the same issue, but I'm trying to exclude a local schema definition thats in a .graphql file.
Had no luck getting the file excluded trying the same things that @onthecais tried..

The reason I tried excluding the local schema is because it overrides a field with another type, which causes the error Error: Field "Foo.Bar" already exists in the schema. It cannot also be defined in this type extension..

Using graphql-codegen with a separate codegen.yaml file I worked around this issue using the ignoreFieldConflicts: true config parameter, because there I need to have this schema information included, successfully creating all my queries, mutations, types and so on.

But I could not get my vscode graphql extension to work again, because I can not exclude the local schema file, which I don't need for intellisense in my IDE.
