User resolves production error with sanity-plugin-page-tree integration

I see you're encountering a production error with @q42/sanity-plugin-page-tree that doesn't occur in development. Without seeing the specific error message, it's difficult to provide an exact solution, but I can point you toward the most effective troubleshooting approach.

What You Need to Do First

Share the actual error message - The error message from your production logs or browser console is critical for diagnosing the issue. Production errors can range from:

• Missing dependencies
• Build configuration problems
• Environment variable issues
• Version incompatibilities
• API or deployment platform issues

Each requires a different solution, so knowing the specific error is essential.

General Production vs Development Differences

When plugins work in development but fail in production, it's typically because:

1. Dependencies aren't properly installed - Check that @q42/sanity-plugin-page-tree is listed in dependencies (not devDependencies) in your package.json

2. Build process differs - Production builds are optimized differently than dev mode. Try rebuilding from scratch:

   rm -rf node_modules
   rm -rf .sanity  # or your build directory
   npm install
   npm run build

3. Environment configuration - Verify your production environment has the same Node.js version and environment variables as development

4. Caching issues - Your deployment platform may be using cached builds

Where to Get Help

Since this is a community plugin (not an official Sanity plugin), the best places to get support are:

• Q42's GitHub repository - Check the Issues tab for similar problems or open a new issue with your error message
• Sanity Community Slack - The community can help troubleshoot third-party plugins
• This forum - Post again with the specific error message for targeted help

Configuration Check

Verify your sanity.config.ts is correct:

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {pageTree} from '@q42/sanity-plugin-page-tree'

export default defineConfig({
  // ... other config
  plugins: [
    pageTree({
      // your configuration
    })
  ]
})

Please share your error message and I or others in the community can provide specific guidance. Production errors can have many different causes, and the error message will tell us exactly what's going wrong.
