Hi, seem to be having an issue with a groq query I'm using on my site.
I have an "seoImage" schema, which just contains an alt string field, and the built in image field.
Across my entire site, I use this groq query:
However, for one image, I don't get anything back from the result. I just get the asset reference back with a _type and _ref properties.
I've tried doing the exact query I'm running in the vision plugin inside sanity, and I get the desired result (The image data, along with the metadata of the image).
Why isn't this working on my front end? but is working for all my other images?

To be clear, your document has:
and
"seoImage": {
"image": {
"asset": {
"_ref": "..."
"_type": "reference"
}
}
}seoImage.image.asset->isn't working?

Hi User, yes that was my issue.
I did however figure out what was causing this to not follow the reference:
my entire query was the following:
It was the last spread operator inside the intro object that was causing the issue. Removing this allows the full image data to come through.
I noticed it wasn't an issue with the image when I added in my button, and also found it wasn't following the internalUrl references. Again, this was fixed upon removed the final spread operator.

*[_type == 'product' && _id == $_id][0] {
intro {
title,
content,
seoImage {
...,
image {
...,
asset-> {
...,
metadata
}
}
},
button {
...,
link {
type,
type == "internal" => internalLink {
reference-> {
_type,
"slug": slug.current,
}
},
type == "external" => externalLink {
url,
},
}
},
...,
},
}I noticed it wasn't an issue with the image when I added in my button, and also found it wasn't following the internalUrl references. Again, this was fixed upon removed the final spread operator.

Ah yeah, the spread operator will overwrite.

If I'd put that spread operator right at the beginning, am I correct in assuming that wouldn't have caused an issue?

No worries!

I'd like to do this exactly, but dynamically. Hardcoding in every instance where an image reference "could" be seems silly to me. Is doing this dynamically possible?

Not at the moment, sorry.

This is something we know is a problem, and we are actively working on possible solutions.
