Changing basePath for Sanity Studio on Netlify using environmental variables

is there a way to change the basePath for sanity with environmental variables? Deploying my studio to Netlify is giving me 404 whenever I navigate anywhere in the Studio

It sounds like you're missing a redirect rule? Since the studio is a SPA all sub paths needs to redirect to the index.html file. Check here for a configuration file https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-template-gatsby-blog/blob/master/template/studio/netlify.toml

There’s a way! If you set

SANITY_STUDIO_PROJECT_BASEPATH

in your environment variables, this should override whatever path you’ve set in your

sanity.json

file.

damn, i missed this in the docs

thanks!

I’ve added the redirect and https://sanity.mysite.com/ to SANITY_STUDIO_PROJECT_BASEPATH variable

Did that fix things?

no. now I get https://sanity.mysite.dev/https:/sanity.mysite.dev/desk 😆

That looks a bit double 🙂 And without the env variables set, you get https://sanity.mysite.dev/desk ? And this doesn’t work?

Do you have a

netlify.toml

file like Knut posted above?

what should SANITY_STUDIO_PROJECT_BASEPATH be?

Unless the Studio is not in your root directory, you should be fine without the env var and a

netlify.toml

file just like the one you posted. There’s no basepath set under

project

in your

sanity.json

file, correct?

no, no basePath set in project

I’ll remove the env and try again

the studio is not on my root directory, but in /studio (i’m using a monorepo)

In that case you could try setting the env var to the studio path 🙂

I removed the env variable and i get this strange behaviour (my site is a copy of the sanity portfolio starter)
going to my netlify url
https://sanity.mysite.dev redirects to https://sanity.mysite.dev/desk and shows the studio
going straight to
https://sanity.mysite.dev/desk gives me 404

the deploy script in netlify was missing … && cp studio/netlify.toml studio/distso I’m redeploying
🤞

yep, that fixed it 🎊 🌈

That makes sense but seems like a tough one to catch, so I’m glad you figured it out 🚀
