Error: It appears like Gatsby is misconfigured. on Fresh installs

Description

I can no longer run gatsby develop without getting this error

Error: It appears like Gatsby is misconfigured. JSONStore is Gatsby internal development-only component and should never be used in production.

Unless your site has a complex or custom webpack/Gatsby configuration this is likely a bug in Gatsby. Please report this at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues with steps to reproduce this error.

this happens on existing and new sites

I have deleted cache and re-downloaded the node_modules. I have created new sites with just react, react-dom, and gatsby, but I still get this error.

Steps to reproduce

1. gatsby new test
2. cd test
3. gatsby develop

Expected result

The site should start up with no errors

Actual result

I get an error

Had the same issue with the same root cause. Might be worth updating the error message to note that it can be caused by NODE_ENV?

^ turns out I had run export NODE_ENV=production in the same terminal window before so I changed it back to development all good nvm 👍
