any ideas why a in studio vision would follow the reference correctly while from the webapp, the reference doesn't get followed instead returns null?

Feb 26, 2023, 1:58 AM

Are you on the same dataset in vision and in your webapp?

Feb 26, 2023, 1:59 AM

yes!

Feb 26, 2023, 2:00 AM

Can you show me how you're trying to resolve the reference in your webapp?

Feb 26, 2023, 2:01 AM

you might be omitting

._ref

from the object chain

Feb 26, 2023, 2:01 AM

  *[_type == "home"][0]{
    _id,
    footer,
    name,
    showcaseExhibitions[]-&gt;,
    title,
    overview,
    header,
    subheader
  }

Feb 26, 2023, 2:02 AM

when i output the fetch() it just returns an array of null

Feb 26, 2023, 2:02 AM

So no documents are matching to

"home"

Feb 26, 2023, 2:03 AM

{
  _id: '2afb8db4-b79e-4056-b779-7b3f4c44fd98',
  footer: null,
  header: 'HEADER',
  name: null,
  overview: 'DESCRIPTION',
  showcaseExhibitions: [ null ],
  subheader: [
    {
      _key: '072703d67f11',
      _type: 'block',
      children: [Array],
      markDefs: [],
      style: 'normal'
    }
  ],
  title: 'Home'
}

if i get rid of the

-&gt;

it returns the reference object

Feb 26, 2023, 2:04 AM

try

showcaseExhibitions._ref

Feb 26, 2023, 2:05 AM

no nvm that will jsut be the reference id

Feb 26, 2023, 2:05 AM

I think you're misusing the

-&gt;

there. Here's an example of how im using it

Feb 26, 2023, 2:06 AM

if its not pointing to something then it makes sense that you're getting null

Feb 26, 2023, 2:06 AM

but it works vision

Feb 26, 2023, 2:07 AM

and returns a result

Feb 26, 2023, 2:07 AM

vision uses GQL for queries no?

Feb 26, 2023, 2:07 AM

GROQ is different

Feb 26, 2023, 2:07 AM

don't think so..i paste in the same query into vision and it gives me the result i expect

Feb 26, 2023, 2:09 AM

that's odd. there must be some context vision has that the Sanity client doesnt

Feb 26, 2023, 2:10 AM

maybe try specifying the fields you want to pull from

showcaseExhibitions

Feb 26, 2023, 2:10 AM

yeah..i start being super specific and then pulled back

Feb 26, 2023, 2:11 AM

wonder if there's some web setting..or if there's a way to turn on debugging so that i can diagnose what URL it's trying to hit

Feb 26, 2023, 2:12 AM

you can check your network tab in the devtools on the webapp

Feb 26, 2023, 2:12 AM

and see where the request is heading

Feb 26, 2023, 2:12 AM

yeah unfortunately next.js is doing is server side

Feb 26, 2023, 2:15 AM

i guess try making the request from client side

Feb 26, 2023, 2:17 AM

ugh my head hurts..looks like it is using the right URL. And when i copy and paste the URL it actually is the correct data.

Feb 26, 2023, 2:31 AM

but it seems that after fetching it it is disregarding it? do you know if fetch() is actually looking at any types?

Feb 26, 2023, 2:33 AM

actually the same URL when copy and pasted into the browser returns a result..but from executed from the app it doesn't

Feb 26, 2023, 2:37 AM

one query is 9ms the other one is 14ms

Feb 26, 2023, 2:37 AM

very weird, sounds like a bug

Feb 26, 2023, 2:39 AM

wondering it's something to do with CORS

Feb 26, 2023, 2:42 AM

that would be the only thing that is different

Feb 26, 2023, 2:42 AM

If CORS were an issue would you not be getting an error in your console about it?

Feb 26, 2023, 2:43 AM

yeah that's valid..something is happening on the sanity level it seems

Feb 26, 2023, 2:44 AM

Oof thats annoying

Feb 26, 2023, 2:45 AM

you should open an issue on github

Feb 26, 2023, 2:45 AM

okay...so in incognito mode i am getting the reference not being followed

Feb 26, 2023, 3:01 AM

so b/c i have logged in via studio..it's following them when i hit it directly

Feb 26, 2023, 3:01 AM

so its an auth issue?

Feb 26, 2023, 3:02 AM

so basically it seems like references don't get followed unless you are logged in? or use an auth token

Feb 26, 2023, 3:02 AM

yeah..will force a token in and see

Feb 26, 2023, 3:02 AM

i guess that makes sense

Feb 26, 2023, 3:02 AM

🤦‍♂️ yeah..when i force a token in it works..

Feb 26, 2023, 3:04 AM

i think this template i am using doesn't force the token unless in preview mode

Feb 26, 2023, 3:04 AM

well shit good job figuring it out!

Feb 26, 2023, 3:04 AM

ha..thanks for the suggestions and moral support

Feb 26, 2023, 3:09 AM

anytime 🙂
