Execute Query from GraphQL Foundation extension does not work with workbench

[michael-watson]

This might be a challenge because I think the extension is defaulting where it is executing that query towards.

I found out how to get this to work, there are 2 options available:

1. In your VSCode settings, change the gateway port for your mocks: "apollo-workbench.gatewayPort": 8000
2. Add a graphql.config.js file that exposes the gateway port url used for your mocks:

module.exports = {
    projects: {
        app: {
            extensions: {
                endpoints: {
                    default: {
                        url: "http://localhost:5000"
                    },
                },
            }
        }
    }
}

I'm going to leave this issue open until I ship a change that includes this into the docs.

Will also plan on defaulting our gateway to align with the port used by the GraphQL extension

This is great! I tried the second option which is working. Thanks!
I think we need to keep in mind the collaboration/configuration of this extension with GraphQL and Apollo GraphQL extensions to have a consistent configuration and working experience.

Thanks @saadsaifse for all your feedback so far. It's been great! 🎉

I totally understand about the other Apollo extension and it's configuration. It's something we've learned a lot from and the new rover cli doesn't use a config file like that. I will pass this feedback along to our internal team. My initial goal with Workbench was to have no configuration at all if you want, but I didn't even think the GraphQL extension (I just don't use it currently). I'm going to make sure the defaults play nicely together and just work because that is what I would expect. I wouldn't have known about this if you didn't bring it up!
