Issue with data query after adding apiVersion to the client in Next.js Sanity client.

Has anyone experienced breaks when adding the apiVersion to the client?
I did not have any version in my Next.js sanity client, so I started getting a warning about the future deprecation and I added it, but after doing that some of the data I query is undefined and I don’t understand why, if it’s due to some update or what. When I comment out the apiVersion all works fine

Hey Jonathon. Would you be able to share the GROQ query that is now returning incomplete data?

Hey Ash, thanks for responding!
Sure, I think the problem is that some things are not working after the apiVersion: “2021-03-25”,

export const GET_MENU_FRAGMENT = (locale) => {
  return `
    ...,
    _type == "link" => { 
        _type,
        "linkTo": linkTo->,
        "text": coalesce(text[${locale}], text.en_eu),
        ...
      },
    _type == "externalLink" => { 
        _type,
        url,
        "text": coalesce(text[${locale}], text.en_eu),
        ...
      },
    _type == "dropdown" => { 
        _type,
        "text": coalesce(text[${locale}], text.en_eu),
        dropdownItems[]{
          type,
          "title": coalesce(text[${locale}], text.en_eu),
          "text": coalesce(text[${locale}], text.en_eu),
          url,
          linkTo->,
          "previewTitle": coalesce(previewTitle[${locale}], previewTitle.en_eu),
          "previewParagraph": coalesce(previewParagraph[${locale}], previewParagraph.en_eu),
          "previewImage": previewImage { _type, asset-> },
          "previewTag": coalesce(previewTag[${locale}], previewTag.en_eu),
          ...
        },
        ...
    }`;
};

This is a general fragment I am using for a menu item

coalesce()
does not seem to work anymore
Jan 17, 2022, 4:36 PM
and joining the reference using
linkTo->
does not seem to work anymore

When I log the data without the apiVersion, everything works fine, but after that date, the query does not work the same, I checked the changelog but there was nothing about using -> for reference or coalesce

Thanks for providing the example query. I'll take a closer look at this for you.

Hi Jonathan. I suspect it’s the placement of your ellipses . In
v1
, they could come before or after your named attributes and it wouldn’t matter—the named attribute would always “win.” In
v2021-03-25
and later, the placement matters, so what’s happening is the
text
field coming back from
is overriding your named
text
field. If you move the
to the start of each object, it should work again.
