Has anyone experienced an issue where the portable text editor shows nothing? We've made no changes to our site but all of a sudden nothing is in the text editor bar.

Is your Studio embedded in a Next app?

Wondering about RD’s question.

It is embedded, yep!
I was able to "fix" it by upgrading the desk client to the latest

Great! Glad to hear it.

I actually had to revert back to the prev sanity client (6.11.1) and structure (2.36.2) to keep things working properly. It broke both the rich text editor and the document search

this is back and happening specifically in prod on our nextjs prod build. in dev it works OK. No console / browser errors.

What are you embedding it in? Can you share more details about your build?

This is within nextjs 14.2.0. Pretty standard config.

"use client";

import { NextStudio } from "next-sanity/studio";
import config from "../../../sanity.config";

export default function Studio() {
  return <NextStudio config={config} />;
}

// page
import Studio from "./Studio";

export const dynamic = "force-static";

export default function StudioPage() {
  return <Studio />;
}

Are there any errors in the console?
Also, as a side note, please do not DM team members here or on other platforms for assistance.

There are no errors within the console. No console / browser errors. Other notes: we use PNPM and Node v 20 if that matters!

I did DM knut, but only to share a code snippet / example that he asked for in replies that I couldn't publicly share

It’s odd that you mentioned there were no code changes before this started happening. Do you get the same behavior across different browsers?
Your best bet is to probably upgrade both Sanity and Next to their latest versions, delete node modules, reinstall, then redeploy.

Will give that a go! We did see it both in Safari and Chrome.

There was also a weird thing happening with styled components in the last few weeks that could be happening here. If what I suggested previously doesn’t work, try manually installing the latest version of styled components and do the whole reinstall/redeploy but again.
Apr 22, 2024, 10:29 PM
Ah, will give that a try as well.
Apr 22, 2024, 10:39 PM
Running NextJS 14.2.2, latest version of styled-components, latest sanity version 3.38.0, next-sanity 9.0.8, sanity client ^6.15
That finally worked
😮‍💨
