"Error initializing Apollo GraphQL project" when behind a proxy

[arnaudNYC]

Hello,

When behind a corporate proxy, the extensions fails at startup with this error message:

[Network Error]: FetchError: request to https://graphql.api.apollographql.com/api/graphql failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 
ApolloError: request to https://graphql.api.apollographql.com/api/graphql failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 

Same project works just fine when not behind the proxy.

Things I've tried:

• In vscode, changing values for the following settings:
  Setting http.proxy to the proxy value
  Enabling and disabling http.proxyAuthorization
  Enabling and disabling http.proxyStrictSSL
  Setting http.proxySupport to 'on'
• In the .env file, setting the following values:
  http_proxy
  https_proxy
  HTTP_PROXY
  HTTPS_PROXY
  GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY
  global_agent_https_proxy
• Setting the following environment variables:
  http_proxy
  https_proxy
  HTTP_PROXY
  HTTPS_PROXY
  GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY
  global_agent_https_proxy

Looking at the code, I couldn't find any evidence of proxies being supported, libraries like https-proxy-agent or global-agent are not being used.

The only way I could get the proxy to work was by hacking direct access to my proxy in src/env/fetch/fetch.ts:

const agent = new (HttpsProxyAgent as any)("http://proxy.company.com:8080");
function proxyFetch(url: RequestInfo, options: RequestInit | undefined) {
  return fetch(url, {
    ...options,
    agent,
  });
}

export { proxyFetch as fetch };

export {
  Request,
  Response,
  Headers,
  ResponseInit,
  BodyInit,
  RequestInfo,
  HeadersInit,
  Body,
  RequestInit,
  RequestMode,
  RequestCredentials,
  RequestCache,
  RequestRedirect,
} from "node-fetch";

Once I've done that, then the Apollo GraphQL status shows the schema as loaded.

Is there a setting, in vscode, the extension or in my environment that I am missing in order to use the extension behind a corporate proxy, or is it simply not supported?
