marvinjude · 2022-12-14T12:11:42Z

Hey @lezan,

This was actually fixed in 5.3.2 not 5.3.1

lezan · 2022-12-14T12:42:58Z

After uprading to 5.3.2 I am getting a couples of warnings (never seen before):

warn [gatsby-plugin-image] Could not read image data file "E:\...\.cache\caches\gatsby-plugin-image\1115632934.json".
This may mean that the images in "E:\...\src\components\home\SectionCustomMap.jsx" were not processed.
Please ensure that your gatsby version is at least 2.24.78.
warn [gatsby-plugin-image] No data found for image "../../images/home/map-request.png"

Hope to give you more details soon.

EDIT: in the SectionCustomMap.jsx component (mentioned by warning) I am using StaticImage component from gatsby-plugin-image.
Like that

<StaticImage
  src="../../images/home/map-request.png"
  alt="custom map request"
  placeholder="blurred"
  layout="constrained"
  width={1000}
/>

LekoArts · 2022-12-14T13:10:23Z

What happens when you run gatsby clean and try again?

lezan · 2022-12-14T13:14:06Z

What happens when you run gatsby clean and try again?

Same issue. I already tried a wiped of node_modules, yarn install, yarn clean and then yarn develop. Same outcome. I also tried to switch from relative path to absolute path, just in case but not.

I am preparing a repo.

LekoArts · 2022-12-14T13:23:33Z

@lezan no need, we can reproduce and will have a fix

LekoArts · 2022-12-14T13:35:53Z

PR is up #37262

lezan · 2022-12-14T15:31:13Z

Can I ask when you think it will be published in a minor release?
