Research direction

Start with the LaunchConnection schema below the Query type and the resolver return object shown in the issue. Reproduce a request using a cursor past the end of the launches, then make the schema and returned cursor behavior consistent. Done means the request returns a valid GraphQL response instead of INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Cursor is defined as non-nullable:

type LaunchConnection { # add this below the Query type as an additional type.
  cursor: String!
  hasMore: Boolean!
  launches: [Launch]!
}

But if no launches are retrieved (for example if you pass in a cursor for which hasMore was false), then the code will carefully return null for the cursor:

      return {
        launches,
        cursor: launches.length ? launches[launches.length - 1].cursor : null,

Resulting in INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR:
