'gatsby-source-graphql' causes load plugins error quoting 'gatsby/graphql'

I have a working Gatsby install that I've been adding to, however, in trying to build in some graphQL build-time data fetching, I've run into an issue that causes error when running npm start (gatsby develop) or gatsby build.

I installed gatsby-source-graphql as described here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gatsby-source-graphql

And I included it in my gatsby-config.js like this:

module.exports = {

  // Optional
  siteMetadata: {
    title: `Title from siteMetadata`,
  },


  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-manifest`,
      options: {
        name: "Project Template",
        short_name: "PT",
        start_url: "/",
        background_color: "#6b37bf",
        theme_color: "#6b37bf",
        // Enables "Add to Homescreen" prompt and disables browser UI (including back button)
        // see https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-app-manifest/#display
        display: "standalone",
        icon: "src/images/icon.png", // This path is relative to the root of the site.
        // An optional attribute which provides support for CORS check.
        // If you do not provide a crossOrigin option, it will skip CORS for manifest.
        // Any invalid keyword or empty string defaults to `anonymous`
        crossOrigin: `use-credentials`,
      },
    },
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
      options: {
        name: `images`,
        path: `${__dirname}/src/images`,
      },
    },



    // GraphQL APIs for use during build-time.
    // https://www.npmjs.com/package/gatsby-source-graphql
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    {
      resolve: "gatsby-source-graphql",
      options: {
        // Arbitrary name for the remote schema Query type
        typeName: "SpaceX",
        // Field under which the remote schema will be accessible. You'll use this in your Gatsby query
        fieldName: "spaceX",
        // Url to query from
        url: "https://api.spacex.land/graphql/",
      },
    },

    // {
    //   resolve: "gatsby-source-graphql",
    //   options: {
    //     // Arbitrary name for the remote schema Query type
    //     typeName: "SWAPI",
    //     // Field under which the remote schema will be accessible. You'll use this in your Gatsby query
    //     fieldName: "swapi",
    //     // Url to query from
    //     url: "https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index",
    //   },
    // },




    `gatsby-transformer-sharp`,
    `gatsby-plugin-sharp`,
    `gatsby-plugin-react-helmet`,
    `gatsby-theme-material-ui`,
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-nprogress`,
      options: {
        // Setting a color is optional.
        color: `tomato`,
        // Disable the loading spinner.
        showSpinner: false,
      },
    },
    `gatsby-plugin-transition-link`,
    `gatsby-plugin-layout`, // Trial and error showed this needs to be last (But that doesn't mean it will always work in the dev environment, try npm run clean or if that fails - test in build)
  ],

}

But it produces this error:

Error in "/Users//Documents/projects/project/node_modules/gatsby-source-graphql/gatsby-node.js":
Cannot find module 'gatsby/graphql'

I started creating a minimal reproduction and adding everything back one by one, but decided to play more with my first setup for a little...and I'm glad I did.

Here's what caused the issue:

This Gatsby install is part of a Project Template we use which includes backend code, front-end, pipeline deployment scripts, etc. The structure is similar to:

ProjectTemplate folder

  • client folder
  • server folder
  • other folders

The Gatsby install lives in the client folder but occasionally I need to go into the root folder to do certain things.

So what happened!?

I accidentally installed gatsby-source-graphql into the root folder instead of the client folder. That's all. I should have picked this up when I ran gatsby info --clipboard as it's clearly not listed as a dependency.
