Description

If you construct a query that only contains a spread fragment, it appears that the resolver's root argument becomes null. This only happens whenever there are no other fields being queried, only the fragment.

Repro steps

The following is an example of such a query:

fragment SidebarFragment on Query {
    organizations(first: 10) {
        edges {
            node {
                name
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

query MainLayoutMainQuery {
    ...SidebarFragment
}

The following is the resolver for the organizations field:

let organizationField (organizationType: OutputDef<Organization>) =
    Define.AsyncField(
        "organization",
        Nullable organizationType,
        "Gets one of the user's organizations by id",
        [ Define.Input("id", StringType) ],
        fun ctx (root: Root) ->
            let globalId = ctx.Arg<string> "id"

            match globalId with
            | GlobalId("Organization", id) ->
                let repository = buildOrganizationRepository root.Db root.UserId
                repository.Fetch(Guid(id))
            | _ -> raise (GQLMessageException "Invalid organization ID received.")
    )

And the root is a simple record value:

type Root = {
    Db: DbCtx
    UserId: string
}

If the query is executed against this setup, then the root argument of the resolver becomes null, even when that is not a valid value
for the field. This issue completely goes away whenever there is either another field in the main query, as in the following:

fragment SidebarFragment on Query {
    organizations(first: 10) {
        edges {
            node {
                name
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

query MainLayoutMainQuery {
    node(id: "") {
        id
    }
    ...SidebarFragment
}

Or the fragment is not used, and instead is sent inline as normal:

query MainLayoutMainQuery {
    organizations(first: 10) {
        edges {
            node {
                name
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior

The organizations field should be the same for all of the previous queries, and no null error should occur.

Actual behavior

The root argument is null.

Known workarounds

Add a dummy field to the main query, as that somehow makes the root field not be null.
