Troubleshooting deployment and build issues with Sanity and Gatsby starter

12 replies
Last updated: May 16, 2020
👋 I recently started playing around with the 
sanity-gatsby-portfolio
starter, big fan of Sanity so far, clean and simple. Now that I've made a bunch of edits to Studio and Web, I'm trying to redeploy on netlify but both keep failing. I've tried to clear cache and deploy with no luck. Keep getting a few errors:
Failed at the sanity-gatsby-portfolio@0.0.0 postinstall script.

failed during stage 'building site': Build script returned non-zero exit code: 1

Any chance you guys could point me in the right direction to fix this?

Looks like it was because i was using 
location.pathname

Hi Maxim, assuming 
asset
is part of another field such as 
image
, you might have one or more documents without an image. Have you tried checking for 
image
before loading the asset? For example:
{post.image && <Img fluid={post.image.asset.fluid} />}

hmm, this is only for site settings, so there's only 1 document

and there's an image, it shows up locally

What’s on line 26 of 
helpers.js
? Or better, do you have a link to a repo? (in DM if you prefer) 🙂
