Directive in @nestjs/graphql has no effect

Question

I'm trying to add a Custom Directive with the code first approach following the doc. For now, I use the exact same upper directive. However, the directive seems to have no effect and the code never goes through my custom function.

In the app.module.ts:

GraphQLModule.forRoot({
  autoSchemaFile: 'src/schema.gql',
  buildSchemaOptions: {
    dateScalarMode: 'timestamp',
    schemaDirectives: {
      upper: UpperCaseDirective, // no effect
    },
  },
  schemaDirectives: {
    upper: UpperCaseDirective, // no effect
  },
  playground: true,
  introspection: true,
  debug: true,
  // Allow guards and middleware to access req and headers
  context: ({ req }) => ({
    req,
    headers: req.headers,
    databaseConnection: req.databaseConnection,
    updatedAt: req.updatedAt,
  }),
}),

Here are the dependencies in my package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@nestjs/common": "^7.3.2",
    "@nestjs/core": "^7.3.2",
    "@nestjs/graphql": "^7.5.5",

per the documentation, you aren't configured properly.

The app.module.ts should be

GraphQLModule.forRoot({
   transformSchema: schema => userDirectiveTransformer(schema, 'upper'),
   buildSchemaOptions: {
     directives: [
       new GraphQLDirective({
          name: 'upper',
          locations: [DirectiveLocation.FIELD_DEFINITION],
      }),
    ],
  },
},
