IntelliJ HTTP client with GraphQL requests stored in multiple .http files - intellij-idea

Question

I am using IntelliJ 2022.3.1 (Ultimate Edition).
I have multiple .http files containing GRAPHQL requests, for convenience, those files are kept in a subfolder of resource folder in test package, in our Java application. Those requests are defined in multiple files, because for many of them the query is rather big and it was hard to navigate in a single file.
My goal is to make running these queries as easy as possible, to ease testing.
I have already added environment variables with some details, like hostname or token‚ which I set in the headers.
I have also defined live template to prepare request headers quickly, when adding new request.
What I would like to do in addition is:
read query from a file
run queries from all the files with one click
The first problem is:
When I have a GRAPHQL request in .http file, I can successfully trigger it. But when I save exactly the same query in a file and try to load it when triggering request, I get validation exceptions. Is this not possible?
For example, this request works fine:
GRAPHQL {{path}}
Authorization Bearer {{token}}
Content-Type: application/graphql
query {
total {
amount
currency
}
}
But after saving the same query in a file and loading it like below, it fails in the app:
GRAPHQL {{path}}
Authorization Bearer {{token}}
Content-Type: application/graphql
< ./query.graphql
with
Error executing GraphQL request! graphql.kickstart.servlet.InvocationInputParseException: Request parsing failed at graphql.kickstart.servlet.HttpRequestHandlerImpl.parseInvocationInput(HttpRequestHandlerImpl.java:72)
After digging a little bit more, it seems to be a difference in how the request is delivered to the endpoint. It looks like when providing query in the body - the request is packed in JSON, when loading request from a file - the request is sent as is
See difference:
// This works
POST /my-graphql/graphql, payload={"query": "query {\n total {\n amount\n currency\n }\n}"}
// This fails
POST /my-graphql/graphql, payload=query { total { amount currency } }
Looks like IntelliJ bug?
The second issue is that when I right click on a folder to run all requests, IntelliJ gives me option to run all tests - which is not what I want. Is it possible to create run configuration to execute all .http requests from multiple files?

It looks like neither of above is possible now:
