What happens when there is a syntax error in a code file outside the GraphQL strings?

[therealgilles]

If I have a typo in a code file outside the GraphQL strings, it seems ESLint (or more specifically the @babel/parser called by @graphql-tools/graphql-tag-pluck) crashes:

ESLint: 8.17.0

SyntaxError: Missing semicolon. (19:20)

Shouldn't the @babel/parser be called with errorRecovery set to true to make it work properly?
