Why I get Argument of undefined passed to parser was not a valid GraphQL DocumentNode?

Question

I do import graphQL query as:

import {getStudents} from'./../graphql/Queries.graphql'

Queries.graphql file:

query getStudents($schoolID: Int!){
  allStudents(schoolId: $schoolID){
    pickUpLat
    pickUpLng
  }
}

but when I try to pass the query to the component as:

export default graphql(getStudents, {
  options: (props) => ({ variables: { schoolID: props.schoolID } })
})( StudentsMap );

I get this error:

Uncaught Error: Argument of undefined passed to parser was not a valid GraphQL DocumentNode. You may need to use 'graphql-tag' or another method to convert your operation into a document

However, if I define the query in the same file of component (not importing it) as:

const getStudents= gql`
query getStudents($schoolID: Int){
  allStudents(schoolId: $schoolID){
    pickUpLat
    pickUpLng
  }
}`

then it does work normally, any idea why I get that error when try to import the query?

Here is my webpack.config.js settings: (based on this reference)

var webpack = require('webpack');

   module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.(graphql|gql)$/,
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      loader: 'graphql-tag/loader',
    },
  ],
}

It seems that Loading queries with Webpack fails? or what it could be?

According to your code you are not transforming the imported "plain-text" into a graphql with the gql`...` function, or is this just a code omission? — Roland Studer, May 21 '18 at 14:39
I mean one time gesStudents is `{query}` (when you import it) the other time it is `gql\`{query}\`` — Roland Studer, May 21 '18 at 14:40
This should be handled with `Webpack preprocessing with graphql-tag/loader` as they say here: https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag — simo, May 22 '18 at 07:53
