Sanity Create Template Build Fails Without Error Information

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing build failures with those Sanity templates! The issue you're encountering is actually due to those templates being deprecated and archived.

The Gatsby blog template repository was archived on March 6, 2023 and is no longer maintained. This is why you're seeing build failures without specific error messages - the template is outdated and likely incompatible with current versions of dependencies, Gatsby, or Sanity itself.

The same situation applies to the "kitchen sink" template you mentioned. These older templates from sanity.io/create are no longer actively supported.

Here's what you should use instead:

For modern, maintained templates, check out Sanity's current template library. Here are some excellent alternatives:

Clean Starter Templates (minimal setup):

• Clean Next.js + Sanity app - Next.js with Visual Editing and Live Content API. This is the most popular choice and includes one-click deployment to Vercel.
• Clean Astro + Sanity app - Minimal Astro starter
• Clean Remix + Sanity app - Minimal Remix starter
• Clean SvelteKit + Sanity app - Minimal SvelteKit starter

Full-Featured Blog Templates:

• Blog with Built-in Content Editing - A modern Next.js blog with Sanity Studio embedded, featuring instant previews and Visual Editing. This is the spiritual successor to the old Gatsby blog template.

These templates are actively maintained, work with the latest versions of Sanity (Sanity Studio v3), and include modern features like Visual Editing and real-time previews.

If you specifically need Gatsby:

While the official Gatsby template is archived, you can still use Sanity with Gatsby by:

1. Starting with a clean Gatsby project
2. Installing gatsby-source-sanity
3. Following the Gatsby + Sanity documentation

However, I'd strongly recommend considering Next.js or one of the other modern frameworks listed above, as they have better support, more active development, and superior performance in the Sanity ecosystem. The Next.js templates in particular offer features like:

• Visual Editing - Edit content directly in your preview
• Live Content API - Real-time content updates without rebuilding
• Embedded Studio - Manage content without switching apps
• One-click deployment - Get started in minutes

The Blog with Built-in Content Editing template is essentially what the Gatsby blog template would be if it were built today with modern best practices.
