I've had algolia running fine with a different API, now I'm trying to get it to work with Sanity.io and have what i think is a very simple query to get going with. This query works fine in graphiQL:

Here's the code, and to debug i put all the API credentials in the code and took it out of .env.production incase there was an issue there. I'm building locally:

// gatsby-config.js
const myQuery = `{
  allSanityPeople {
    edges {
      node {
        displayName
      }
    }
  }
}`

const queries = [
  {
    query: myQuery,
    transformer: ({ data }) =>
      data.allSanityPeople.edges.map(({ node }) => node), // optional
    indexName: "MyIndexName", // overrides main index name, optional
    settings: {
      // optional, any index settings
    },
    matchFields: ["slug", "modified"], // Array<String> overrides main match fields, optional
  },
]

In my config settings:

{
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-algolia`,
      options: {
        appId: "myappid",
        // Careful, no not prefix this with GATSBY_, since that way users can change
        // the data in the index.
        apiKey: "myAdminAPIKey",
        // indexName: process.env.ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME, // for all queries
        queries,
        chunkSize: 10000, // default: 1000
        settings: {
          // optional, any index settings
        },
        enablePartialUpdates: true, // default: false
        matchFields: ["slug", "modified"], // Array<String> default: ['modified']
      },
    },

I want to try and debug this, but can't understand how - if anyone can help me there too that would be great.

[Haroenv]

These logs don't seem to point to a specific problem or line with the error. Could you make this reproducible in a GitHub project please?

[amcc]

@Haroenv yep that's my quandary too! I'm making a repo now to try to replicate and share. I was wondering whether there were any fundamental problems with my code. I'll post the repo asap

[amcc]

I've now got this working. The suggestion to make a repo was a very good one! It worked out of the box. So i've tried to step back though the settings I had originally to find the problem.

By adding an id into the graphQL it worked, this was the only issue.

In the example up top I am only getting a single field, displayName - effectively the title. It seems Algolia needs an id.

This makes some sense, but perhaps a more useful error can be produced if this happens? Also if there's some advanced way of debugging this that would be helpful.

I've created a repo here that works perfectly with Sanity and Algolia, you can reproduce the error using this and following the instructions below: https://github.com/amcc/gatsby-sanity-algolia

By removing id from web/gatsby-config.js (line 16) you'll see the error. You'll have to add credentials for a Sanity blog (you need the Sanity project id), plus the Algolia credentials of course.

[Haroenv]

Interesting, I expect there to be a clear error in that case "id or objectID required", do you see that now or was it swallowed by something?

[amcc]

I think its getting swallowed, or not there, here's the output from the basic sanity site i made:

Here's a working version from a basic repo: https://github.com/amcc/gatsby-sanity-algolia

The issue was leaving out the id from the graphql

[Haroenv]

I'm going to reopen this so I can investigate why the error wasn't shown later. Glad you found your solution though!

[bzmillerboy]

I had a very similar issue that took me a few days to finally resolve. Mine was a tad more complex in that I was breaking my GraphQL results down into small chunks. Algolia was deduplicating those chunks because I was passing the same ID (many Algolia records for my one record). I had to append the index to my ID in order to give Algolia a unique ID.

const chunkBlocks = input => {
    return input.map(({ node: { slug, _rawBody, id, ...rest } }) => {

        return _rawBody.map((body, index) => {
          const bodyContent = extractContent(body)
          const objectID = id + index
          return {type: "page", objectID, ...slug, bodyContent, ...rest}
        })

    }).flat()
}

I agree that it could be called out more clearly that each record requires a unique ID that we are responsible for sending. Hopefully this post saves someone else the trouble.

[amcc]

I came across the same issue again yesterday, on a different project, found my own issue and remembered the fix!

[Haroenv]

I agree a better error should be shown here. Either the error from Algolia could be shown again, or we can do an isUnique on the objectIds before sending. Open for contributions here!
