Discussion about using Sanity migration features to modify i18n documents

18 replies
Last updated: Mar 23, 2023
Hello! How's your Monday going? I'm trying to use the Sanity migration features to accomplish the setting of a new value to every single document. For instance, add a key value:
domain: 'website'

I have used:
https://www.sanity.io/docs/migrating-data
Which works, for document types, images and assets. Hooray! Now, the pickle I'm in, is that I need to migrate
i18n documents as well. HOWEVER, even if:
• I am successfully authenticated
• My role is
administrator
• And my token is
EDITOR
It looks like the, Sanity does not fetch this documents. My query, since I want to pull all documents, is just
*[]

Below I attach a snipped of my migration script. It would be really helpful if anybody had some insight. My current hypothesis is that I can not pull this kind of id:
i18n.<sanity-id>.en_DE
for example because of the restrictions explained here: https://www.sanity.io/docs/ids#fdc25ada5db2
Thank you all in advance
❤️

That’s odd. That restriction only applies to unauthenticated users.

Is it possible that your token is not being picked up? What command are you using to execute the script?

Hi!
user M
I hope not 😂 I am using the following command:
sanity exec src/scripts/migrate.ts --with-user-token

Can you try running
sanity logout & sanity login
? Make sure that you’re using the same method to login as you did when you created the account.

Yes, but that did not work. If I don't do it in batches of 100, and I request all documents, then it will signal the problem.

We have an advanced plan. But in theory that should be enough to make migrations right?
Mar 21, 2023, 12:20 PM
My token is set as
EDITOR
as well and my role is
administrator
. What's the missing piece here

Migrations are available on all plans. Given the error, I still think you’ve logged in using a different provider than you did on the project. The editor token you’re passing does not matter since you’re using the the
--with-user-token
flag.

Perhaps this is something related to your problem

Gist is:

The problem was that i got some v2 code in there and that is why it was not running.
(Use of 'useClient' instead of 'createClient' as in the example)

Hi folks! For closure In the end I found the issue. 🌈 The problem was that upon using a query like
*[]
. I was pulling all documents. In my project, this was a total of nearly 914 documents. After creating a JSON with the document
_id
and
_type
, I saw, that all documents were pulled correctly including the ones with
.
and
i18n
. However, this wasn't the only thing this query was pulling. At the beginning I thought I was pulling only:
• Custom types that we created.
• Image assets types
• File assets types
However, there were also, types which included:

system

sanity
In this case, the error was that this elements weren't filtered out, as the query was requesting every single document. Upon attempting to modify documents with this type, I got the error regarding permissions, which would make sense as I believe
document types with this extension might be protected. After properly filtering this types, I saw that I was getting all documents without restrictions since the authentication was correct and the token was correct 🎉

Thanks for reassuring some things and for your support 🙌
Mar 22, 2023, 6:31 PM
Glad you got it sorted out! I hadn’t considered that system documents would be causing it!
Mar 22, 2023, 6:37 PM
That's okay! Perhaps you could recommend this addition as a Gotcha, inside this documentation page: https://www.sanity.io/docs/migrating-data
Mar 22, 2023, 6:38 PM
I couldn't find a warning about this inside the docs 🤗
Mar 22, 2023, 6:38 PM
Great idea!
Mar 22, 2023, 6:43 PM
welcome
user B
. so glad you’ve got this sorted now. 😊
