Trying to listen to changes on single document, getting any changed document
Using the
Sanity JS client.listen method, we’re trying to listen to changes on a single document but are receiving any changed document, not just the intended target with matched field as specified in the GROQ filter.
We’ve tried signatures both with a without the “params” parameter, but are getting the same issue with both of the following query setups that attempt to listen only to the ‘show’ with matching ‘slug’ field:
Query only:
Query and params:
Both approaches fire updates with any changed document.
Can anyone help with tips/direction on how to restrict listener updates to a single intended record? Thanks!

Listening to a single document by querying just on the ID does appear to work, ala:
But still not clear why other queries like the above mentioned that filtered on fields besides ID would not work in the same way, or would catch changes on non-matching documents.
const observerQuery = `*[_id == $id]`;

It appears using the slice operation
If true, this seems like a good “gotcha” to call out in the official documentation.
[0]in a listen query will cause it to fail to listen to a single desired document and instead catch all updates. Dropping the slice seems to be working…

I believe this is the intended functionality for listen queries as of now. I don't think it's a gotcha as it is mentioned here with regard to the listening queries.

Only the filter portion will work. I don't think you can do object projections with listen queries as of now. Which is essentially what happens when you add the

The “gotcha” issue I think, from my perspective is that the slice isn’t simply ignored, but rather that the inclusion of the slice will alter functionality--the filter will no longer be respected, and you will receive update results that are unrelated/do not match the filter criteria.

Are you using the latest API versions?

Not 100% sure. Using @sanity/client v2.7.1, query XHR GETs look like:
https://XXXXXX.api.sanity.io/v1/data/listen/production?query= ….
(useCDN set to false for this specific use case)
https://XXXXXX.api.sanity.io/v1/data/listen/production?query= ….

sorry, that is partially correct, we are using @nuxtjs/sanity@0.7.1, which I believe is in turn using @sanity/client v2.7.1

Your sanity config should have the
apiVersionkey with the latest api. Sounds like your getting the old API bugs.Definitely upgrade your packages, Some pretty significant fixes since. I use Nuxt as well so I know that the latest version is around
.0.9.4. Might fix up some of your issues.

Thanks for the advice, will look into locking down the apiVersion (I believe we’ve currently left it undefined) and updating packages.
