Django Strawberry Graphql Bad request 'str' object has no attribute 'execute_sync'

Question

So I have a simple django model

class County(models.Model):
    '''County'''
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False, blank=False)
    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural = "Counties"
        ordering = ['name']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

here is my types.py

import strawberry
from strawberry.django import auto
from . import models

@strawberry.django.type(models.County)
class County:
    id: auto
    name: auto

and my schema.py

import strawberry
from .types import *

@strawberry.type
class Query:
    county: County = strawberry.django.field()
    counties: List[County] = strawberry.django.field()

schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)

For url.py"

from main.schema import schema
from strawberry.django.views import GraphQLView


urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('graphql', GraphQLView.as_view(schema='schema'), name='graphql'),
]

Running the terminal gives me:

Unable to parse request body as JSON
Bad Request: /graphql
[08/Jan/2022 03:28:08] "GET /graphql HTTP/1.1" 400 113111

When I go into the graphql terminal at http://localhost:8000/graphql there is no documentation in the documentation explorer. If I type a query like:

{
  counties{
    id
    name
  }
}

I get this:

As @IainShelvington said in comments the parameter to GraphQLView should be a schema object you can also see it in docs:

 path('graphql', GraphQLView.as_view(schema=schema), name='graphql'),
