ENOTFOUND error when fetching Sanity project after CLI login

Welcome back! That's definitely a frustrating error to hit when you're trying to catch up on all the exciting changes. The good news is you're not alone - this getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error is almost always a network/DNS resolution issue rather than a Node.js version problem.

Based on a similar case in the Sanity community, this was confirmed to be network-related and resolved once the network issues were sorted out. Here's what you can try:

1. Network & DNS troubleshooting The error means your system can't resolve b1gzrsxl.api.sanity.io to an IP address. Try:

• Test DNS directly: Run nslookup b1gzrsxl.api.sanity.io or ping b1gzrsxl.api.sanity.io to see if your system can resolve the domain
• Flush DNS cache:

  • macOS: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
  • Windows: ipconfig /flushdns
  • Linux: sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches
• Switch networks: Try a different WiFi network or mobile hotspot
• Check VPN/proxy: Temporarily disable any VPN or check corporate proxy settings
• Firewall: Corporate firewalls sometimes block subdomain patterns like *.api.sanity.io

2. Verify your project ID Double-check that b1gzrsxl is still a valid project in your account at sanity.io/manage. The fact that you can log in successfully but then hit this error suggests auth works but the project-specific endpoint doesn't resolve.

3. Node.js version note Since you've been away for 2 years, heads up that Sanity Studio v4 requires Node.js 20+. You mentioned trying v20 which is perfect - just verify you're actually running it with node --version.

4. Try the interactive approach Instead of passing all those flags, try:

npm create sanity@latest

This might handle the network requests differently during setup.

5. Check npm proxy settings If you're behind a corporate proxy:

npm config get proxy
npm config get https-proxy

Since the authentication works but project fetching fails, this really points to DNS/firewall issues with the subdomain pattern. Most people find switching networks or flushing DNS resolves it. Let us know if you're still stuck!
