Prismic + Gatsby: Some blog posts are being deleted after the build, resulting in 404

Developing with Prismic

Hi,

I have a Gatsby project that builds blog posts. Hosted on Netlify, after a completed build, a seemingly random selection of blog posts are deleted, as shown here:

Netlify has helped by trying to identify the error on their end, but concluded that something is happening on the Prismic end.

I've built a minimal reproduction, removing shopify and standard pages from the equation, just building blog posts since those are the only pages being deleted.

What's the best way to share? I don't want to expose any private keys (Prismic or Netlify). I could create a new Netlify site just for testing, but Prismic my plan doesn't allow me to duplicate the Prismic repo, so I can't separate it from the production site.

Any help would be great, thanks

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the community!

I haven't seen this issue before so I'll be happy to debug this with you.

If you can send me your project in a zip or with a GitHub link, then if it's ok with you I can create a private clone for testing purposes only which we will delete once the issue has been resolved.

Does that work for you?

Thanks.

Thanks @Phil, I just sent you a PM.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for sending this to me, I will try and get a look at this by tomorrow and see what the issue could be.

Thanks.

Thanks, really appreciate it @Phil. I've been stuck on this for a while now and it's wracking my brain. I had another thread in the Netlify forum and someone else chimed in who is experiencing a similar, if not the same issue.

Best,
Kevin

Hey Kevin!

Phil is going to be off for the next few days, so I'll be helping you.

I ran your project in a test Netlify environment and wasn't able to reproduce the issue. For example. URLs like this one are available: /blog/prioritizing-goals-whats-most-important

  • Could you give me more details about where this warning appears, and how exactly these pages are being deleted?
  • What happens if you try to access those URLs?
  • Have you tried logging in the API response to see if the error actually comes from your Prismic repository?

Thanks

Hi @Pau, just wondering if you've had any luck?

Thx

Hey there @kevinf, yes we were able to run your project. But we couldn't reproduce the issue on our end. The URLs redirect to the correct pages.
