Apollo GraphQL client data is undefined when using fragments

Question

I've a Next.js project using the Apollo GraphQL client 3.7.17, where the following code works for me:

  const { loading, data, error } = useQuery(gql`
  query GetTeamCurrentWeek($teamId: ID!) {
    team(id: $teamId, idType: DATABASE_ID) {
      teamMeta {
        currentweek
      }
    }
  }
`,
    {
      variables: {
        teamId: 715
      }
    }
  );

If however I change the query to use fragments, I get data 'undefined':

fragment teamCurrentWeek on RootQuery {
  team(id: $teamId, idType: DATABASE_ID) {
    teamMeta {
      currentweek
    }
  }
}
query GetTeamCurrentWeek($teamId: ID!) {
  ...teamCurrentWeek
}

I'm querying Wordpress using GraphQL and if I put the same query using fragments into the GraphiQL IDE, it works as expected and returns the same data as the non-fragments one, so it looks like the syntax/underlying data structure is all correct.

What is it about how I'm using it here that stops the query with fragments working?

You need to import your fragment inside the query you want to use:

export const F_CURRENT_USER = gql`
  fragment FCurrentUser on Person {
    id
    name
    email
    validated
    loginIdentity
  }
`;



export const LOGIN_MAIL_MOBILE = gql`
  ${F_CURRENT_USER}
  mutation loginMailMobile($data: LoginCmsInput) {
    loginMailMobile(data: $data) {
      accessToken
      refreshToken
      user {
        ...FCurrentUser
      }
    }
  }
`;

Notice the ${F_CURRENT_USER} part
