My Image URLs Are Breaking When Deploying to Netlify

My image urls are breaking when deploying to netlify. Images are found and displayed properly in development on local host, but when I deploy the request gets broken (see attached image)
I'm using the imageUrlBuilder package to build the URLs. I'm sure the cause of this is something I'm missing.

Hm. I haven’t seen this one before. The imageUrlBuilder relies on a properly configured sanity client. Perhaps there could be something unexpected going on with your client config in production vs. in development?

Looks like an
<
opening tag creeped into that request URL somehow (although it’s escaped). That’s strange though if it’s working in localhost. Are there any conditionals you’re using for development vs. production?

I have an .envs for dev and prod. This is a migration from another cms and I tried to set it up like the sanity/create gatsby example. There are conditionals for watchMode and overlayDrafts. In playing around with this I noticed that my netlify builds fail when
...clientConfig.sanity
is used in my gatsby-config.js so perhaps the problem is in the config file...

Have you added the relevant environment variables to Netlify? https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/environment-variables/#declare-variables
I think Netlify and Zeit have both stopped processing .env files and require you to add these variables/secrets separately.

Netlify's handling of the env variables was the issue. Thanks for pointing this out.
