Is it just me or Gatsby super bugy?

See original GitHub issue

Description

I am only 3 days with gatsby but I see strange issues. For example:

  1. the graphql officials example stop working with an error Error: The result of this StaticQuery could not be fetched. (full details on that issue here https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/26925) Tried deleting the cache, modules, reinstalling, checking updats. Did this in a loop for 5 hours. Nothing helping. Then I tried to use a hook like in here https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/use-static-query/#composing-custom-usestaticquery-hooks and it started working. Not only the hook but also the same, not touched first query that did not work for 5 hours.

  2. A lot of time the render not working. I edit, no change. Then I edit another component (just added a space and save) and the render works again.

  3. I get a lot of other rander issues that are fixed with deleting cache, modules, reinstalled. Is this only me?

I wanted to use Gatsby for a project but right now I have doubts. Is Gatsby safe to use at the moment? Is something wrong with me or this is happening to you too? Because when I google Gatsby I see that a lot of people say it is super buggy =(

Not just you, I have seriously tried to use it 5+ times now for projects and it not only feels like every time you run anything that there are constantly bugs, but also that the bugs are very vague and difficult to reason about.

I would elaborate but I generally feel overwhelmed by the issues given the frequency of issues, and how stack traces are rarely descriptive enough to be elucidating in of themselves, and beyond that, are rarely even differentiable as patterns or clues.

Really love the philosophy of the project & a lot of the things in place though (which is why I keep checking back). I will deffo be checking back in again at some point down the road.

I heartily agree. Since I started using Gatsby a few months ago, I really gave it a chance, and as a result have spent more time troubleshooting bugs than getting my work done. After finally getting a ‘stable’ development environment (for the nth time) yesterday, I fired it up today only to get a big purple Gatsby error in the browser. I put in this ticket this morning, but honestly, I think I’m done with trying to make Gatsby work.
