Troubleshooting dataset import and env variable issues with Vercel deployment

20 replies
Last updated: May 3, 2021
I exported my development dataset.Then I imported my development dataset into production.

Now I get this error message:

Datasets can only contain lowercase characters, numbers, underscores and dashes, and start with tilde, and be maximum 20 characters
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
Where can I find the name of the dataset?
Shouldn't it just be "production"?

First i renamed development.tar.gz to production.tar.gzThen i ran:
sanity dataset import production.tar.gz production --replace

And i gotDone! Imported 71 documents to dataset "production"

Interesting. I just did the exact same commands (just from production to dev) and it’s working. In sanity.json, is
api.dataset == "production"
?

It actually works locally.But it does not work with Vercel.

I have the following env variable in Vercel
SANITY_STUDIO_API_DATASET
production sanity build

I followed these instructions once in a time:

Is this your studio that you’re deploying to Vercel?

Yes

Did this ever work for you on your dev dataset? Or is this the first time you’ve tried deploying it?

Is the Vercel URL for your studio added in CORS Origins with credentials?

It has worked for over a year.And I have deployed the studio earlier today.
It stopped working after I imported the dataset.

Okay, that’s good to know. I will try passing this up the chain.

Thanks 👍

Just to confirm, is this a build error (that therefore left production intact) or has it disrupted your production environment?

I don't get any build errors. And if I change something in the studio locally with "dataset": "production", I can see the changes in the production site.But I cannot access the sanity studio that is deployed to production.

I just tested to remove the env variable from Vercel and use "dataset": "production" in sanity.json and it works.There seems to be a problem with using the following env variable in Vercel.


SANITY_STUDIO_API_DATASET=production sanity build

Great! I’m confused how it worked before but happy it’s working for you. 🙌

I have just followed this part: https://www.sanity.io/docs/studio-environment-variables#4fab9317f4ad
I don't know if that solution has stopped working.
