gatsby build ELIFECYCLE error code 1 with no error message

[tripphamm]

Description

I'm having trouble building my gatsby app and I'm not able to find any error message to help debug the issue.

gatsby develop works fine with no errors reported

npx gatsby develop -> success
yarn develop -> gatsby develop -> success
npm run develop -> gatsby develop -> success

gatsby build works via npx but not yarn or npm even though it appears that all 3 are using the same version of gatsby 🤔

npx gatsby --version and yarn run gatsby --version and the equivalent npm command all report:

Gatsby CLI version: 2.7.6
Gatsby version: 2.11.4

npx gatsby build -> success

yarn build -> gatsby build ->

I've got the same going on here.

I was tracking this on #14931, tho. But this one seems to match more given that npx gatsby build works and that the behavior is not necessarily attached to Netlify.

npx gatsby build works only locally; on Netlify it fails too.

Same issue here. gatsby build (using npm works fine) but using yarn fails. As the default gatsby starter has package-lock and yarn-lock in it netlify uses yarn and is failing to build (since Sat). Removing yarn-lock, forcing netlify to use npm did the trick for me.

Seems like we swallow some graphql errors. I've created a fix for this.

GraphQL request:3:9
2 |       {
3 |         allMarkdownRemark(
  |         ^
4 |           limit: 1000,



  Error: Cannot query field "allMarkdownRemark" on type "Query".

Thanks for looking in to this and for posting that error message. Since the source of that error was gatsby-plugin-feed, I opted to simply remove the plugin to unblock myself.

Was there some way that I could have produced that error message myself, @wardpeet? Or were you only able to see that after you made a code change to the gatsby source? (Just wondering if there's a verbose debug mode or something that I could have used)

[wardpeet]

Sadly no, it seems like we swallowed it. No way to make it visible

[pieh]

We just published [email protected] to no longer swallow that error
