Expand(_all_) doesn't work with facets

I Want to Do

I’d like to query for all predicates including their facets

What I Did

The schema related to this issue is described here. All the stored nodes have appropriate DTypes assigned.

I use the following query to return all predicates including DType:

{
  q(func: has(xid)) {
    expand(_all_) {
        expand(_all_)
    }
    dgraph.type
  }
}

This works perfectly fine (and returns the facets), the problem is when I try to explicitly request facets, too:

{
  q(func: has(xid)) {
    expand(_all_) @facets {
        expand(_all_)
    }
    dgraph.type
  }
}

This fails with the following error:

{
  "name": "t",
  "url": "http://localhost:8080/query?timeout=20s",
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "line 3 column 19: expand is only compatible with type filters",
      "extensions": {
        "code": "ErrorInvalidRequest"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Based on the returned error description I gather I can not query for @facets using expand?

I did find the following bug, but it does seem it fixes a different issue to the one I’m experiencing here, though the fix in the referred GH issue is quite old so things may have changed since then.

Is there any way I can ask for @facets with expand(_all_) query?

That looks like a feature request. But also looks like it was supported in the past… Curious.

After more than two years this is still not working …
