Description

A repo containing language-agnostic compatibility acceptance tests for graphql is available: https://github.com/graphql-cats/graphql-cats

We should consider also using those tests for graphql-go.

Research direction
The graphql cats repository (https://github.com/graphql cats/graphql cats) provides a set of language agnostic compatibility tests for GraphQL implementations. The goal is to integrate these tests into the graphql go project. First, examine the test structure in graphql cats to understand the test format. Then, determine how to map these tests to Go's testing framework, likely by creating a new test file or suite that imports and runs the graphql cats tests. Check existing test files in the repository for patterns. Consider any configuration needed to point to the graphql go implementation. Finally, ensure the tests pass with the current codebase.
