Help with hanging "Load GraphQL schemas" step in cli

[bazzyb]

For the last month or 2, we've had an issue with the "Load GraphQL schemas" step getting stuck in the CI pipeline. It never fails locally, and only fails 1 in 10 times in the pipeline.

I don't specifically think it's an issue with the library, however what I can't get is any sort of useful way of debugging the issue. The pipeline eventually times out after an hour, and no useful logs are output.

I added debug: true and verbose: true to the codegen config, but it did nothing for the logs.

Anyone have any idea how we could go about debugging this issue?

Below is the output in the pipeline:

$ npm run codegen
> graphql-codegen --config codegen.ts

Did you ever figure out what caused it?
We've just started having the same issue.

Unfortunately we never narrowed down what was causing the issue, it just stopped happening after a month or 2!
