Hello,

I am in the process of bringing my Gatsby v3 site up to v5, and unfortunately I am running into some issues when executing gatsby build. After a gatsby clean and gatsby build --verbose, I receive the following nondescript error:

This issue appears to be similar to #38465, which does not have a resolution

[gustavo-a]

Same error. It seems like an issue with gatsby-source-wordpress since it disappeared after I downgraded it to version 6.25.4

@gustavo-a Thanks for the tip! That worked!

To anyone else who needs to be unblocked, I was able to get my site building with the following deps:

I am also getting this error

It was working fine earlier, i started implementing , and development works fine but the build fails.

1. I deleted the node_module folder
2. Deleted package-lock.json

3. Using node 18.15.0

   "gatsby-source-wordpress": "^7.6.0"

Still, the problem is the same, reverted the slice work, but no luck.

6.25.4

Tried with "gatsby-source-wordpress": "7.11.0", still same issue.

After deleting the package-lock.json and reinstalling the modules, now i am getting this error as well, DB source is same, nod modification done in CMS.

In my case after investing days, I found the at getServerData which i am using in pages folder causing the issue. When I removed this method, a build was created. Now i am trying to debug the issue with this method as same method working on other 4 projects, which i created.

export async function getServerData() {
    try {
        // const res = await fetchFavorite();
        return {
            status: 200,
            props: {
                data: "Server data",
            },
        }
    } catch (error) {
        return {
            status: 500,
            headers: {},
            props: {},
        }
    }
}```

In the case of my error https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/38465 the error seems very closely linked to the reasons I explain in my reply.

[CloudBop]

@insaurabh Interesting how you've come across this error on SSR, thanks for pointing that out. I've noticed the same happening on another of my websites.

@insaurabh @danyim @gustavo-a

I've rolled back to 7.9.0 and this seems to fix both the current issue and also the https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/38465

[insaurabh]

@insaurabh @danyim @gustavo-a

I've rolled back to 7.9.0 and this seems to fix both the current issue and also the #38465

Hi @CloudBop

7.9.0 worked for me as well. I rolled back to this version and tested my site, every thing seems fine. I tried the latest version as well but it was not working, same error was thrown.

Thank you.

Hi !

I have the same issue while upgrading from 4 to 5. Gatsby develop works, build throws the same error. I downgraded "gatsby-source-wordpress" to 6.25.5 and it works. 7.9.0 did not work for me. I had to override some peer dependencies like that :

"overrides": {
    "gatsby-source-wordpress": {
      "gatsby": "^5.13.3",
      "gatsby-plugin-image": "^3.13.1",
      "gatsby-plugin-sharp": "^5.13.1",
      "gatsby-transformer-sharp": "^5.13.1"
    }
  },

Thanks

Thank you.

Hey @insaurabh, did you end up getting builds working when using getServerData() ? that seems to be the catalyst for me and I'm pretty desperate for a solution as I need this for Wordpress preview pages.

[Mellis84]

When flipping the silent bool on the validateEngines function inside Gatsby's validate-engines util to false, the build fail log outputs:

Error: [Immer] minified error nr: 18 'MapSet'. Find the full error at: https://bit.ly/3cXEKWf
Encountered a critical error when running the checkIfSchemaHasChanged build step

For that project getServerData() working when rolled back.

It's so weirdly inconsistent. Sometimes if I remove my node_modules folder and .lock, start a fresh install, it complains with the validation engine error, so i uninstall gatsby-source-wordpress, reinstall to 7.10.1 it works (sometimes). When investigating the validation error more closely (by going into node_modules > gatsby > dist > utils > validate-engines > index.js and setting silent to false ) it looked like the errors were stemming from immer, more precisely @rematch/immer.

Because some other plugins i have like react-redux, were using different versions of immer i had to set some overrides for gatsby-source-wordpress in my package.json

  "overrides": {
    "gatsby-source-wordpress": {
      "@rematch/immer": "1.2.0",
      "immer": "9.0.21"
    }
  }

This fixed it for me but i still can't add certain options in the gatsby-config for gatsby-source-wordpress like presets etc.... such a headache.

I am getting this error now usnig 7.9.0 with node 18.15.0

@vipinamethi try my approach above:

rm -rf node_modules rm -rf package-lock.json

add "gatsby-source-wordpress": "^7.10.1" to your dependencies

then add

 "overrides": {
    "gatsby-source-wordpress": {
      "@rematch/immer": "1.2.0",
      "immer": "9.0.21"
    }
  }

to your package.json, then npm install.
