Getting Variable \“$address\” cannot be non-input

Question

I've successfully set up a GraphQL server in go using the graphql-go library. However, I seem to be getting an error when I pass query parameters when making a query. So I have a query named emails that takes address as an argument and queries a database to return results regarding all the emails associated with the given address. When I pass the address parameter directly, everything seems to work perfectly, as you can see from this image:

However, it doesn't seem to work when I pass it query parameters, like this:

I was off the idea that these two statements should give the same results. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. Could somebody help me understand why I'm getting these errors? This is my go code

It's not clear from the error message you're seeing, but it could be due to the duplicate names in your schema, as outlined in this Github issue. You have two types called Email -- emailType and deleteEmailType. Try renaming one of them.
