Hi, I've taken a local copy and when i run "yarn dev" without making any changes I am getting the error below

`There was an error in your GraphQL query:

Field "hero_image" must not have a selection since type "String" has no subfields.

This can happen if you e.g. accidentally added { } to the field "hero_image". If you didn't expect "hero_image" to be of type "String" make sure that your input source and/or plugin is correct.

I fixed it by making all images paths relative.

I tested the generated production site and the forestry admin, and they both seem to work.

You can apply the patch below by saving it as something.patch and then doing something like:
git am < something.patch

 But the walking of which I speak has nothing in it akin to taking exercise, as it is called, as the sick take medicine at stated hours,–as the swinging of dumb-bells or chairs; but is itself the enterprise and adventure of the day.

 Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

 There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.

 We see right away that this initial derivation already contains all the typical characteristics of the idiosyncrasies of English psychologists—we have “usefulness,” “forgetting,” “habit,” and finally “error,” all as the foundation for an evaluation in which the higher man up to this time has taken pride, as if it were a sort of privilege of men generally. This pride should be humbled, this evaluation of worth emptied of value. Has that been achieved?

 Now, first of all, it’s obvious to me that from this theory the origin of the idea “good” has been sought for and established in the wrong place: the judgment “good” did not move here from those to whom “goodness” was shown! It is much more that case that the “good people” themselves, that is, the noble, powerful, higher-ranking and higher-thinking people felt and set themselves and their actions up as good, that is to say, of the first rank, in contrast to everything low, low-minded, common, and vulgar. From this pathos of distance they first arrogated to themselves the right to create values, to stamp out the names for values. What did they care about usefulness!

Because of this issue being fixed by doing the changes @Xananax mentioned, there is a problem generating new posts.

When making a blog post in forestry.io, gatsby generates the content/posts/my-post.md file with this line hero_image: "/content/images/my-image.jpg"

This is not a problem live in production with netlify, only when trying to launch the same code locally using gatsby develop. (See image below)

How can we change so that the file is generated saying hero_image: "../images/my-image.jpg" instead of hero_image: "/content/images/my-image.jpg"? Hopefully without this causing a problem in production?

Edit: It seems like changing the dir to "../images/my-image.jpg" works fine in production.

If the content/posts/my-post.md file contains hero_image: "/content/images/my-image.jpg" it throws the error in the picture. If I change it to hero_image: "../images/my-image.jpg" and try to run gatsby develop again, it works fine.

Indeed, re-writing the URLs to be relative works when running the site locally, and also works when deploying. There's a module, gatsby-remark-normalize-paths that this forestry theme uses, which makes absolute paths work. And there's gatsby-remark-relative-images, also used by the theme, which makes relative paths work.

in theory, both relative and absolute paths should work. I am not sure why they don't locally, but I guess it's fine as long as you use Forestry to change your blog or remember to make all your paths relative before running the site locally

@Xananax - I recently upgraded gatsby-remark-relative-images to version 2 on my fork and I found that I needed to move gatsby-remark-normalize-paths before gatsby-remark-relative-images in gatsby-config.js on Line 59.

Then I found that I could actually remove gatsby-remark-relative-images all together and it still works. Both gatsby-remark-relative-images and gatsby-remark-normalize-paths sound like they do the same thing according to their descriptions, so I'm not sure how they are different or why we would need both.

Perhaps moving gatsby-remark-normalize-paths or removing gatsby-remark-relative-images in gatsby-config.js would fix the problems mentioned.

When I first started working with this repo, I tried to run it with Windows nodeJS and I found that I got the same "String" has no subfields. error. But I found that I didn't have this problem on macOS or Linux, so I gave up on using Node natively in Windows. I'll have to test again later if this is related.

Last thing- there is a mention of this same "String" has no subfields. error and how to fix it, but I haven't worked out how to fix it in our case here.

@Xananax - well nevermind I tried all that and it didn't work with native Windows nodeJS. I definitely recommend using WSL2 Ubuntu with Windows... not having this problem with Ubuntu or MacOS. I recommend WSL2 over WLS1 because I was having a bunch of annoying "EACCESS" errors with version 1... you can fix it by telling vscode to stop watching files, but I didn't want to do that. Only caveat to WSL2 is that it is VERY slow when it comes to reading files from the Windows filesystem... to avoid this slowness, just create your project folders inside the WSL filesystem located at \\wsl$

More info: https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/gatsby-on-linux/#windows-subsystem-linux-wsl
I had trouble with n-install on my Ubuntu instance, so I installed nvm instead and haven't had any real issues.

Is there a way to fix this problem for Windows without wsl ?

With regards to Forestry.io, I have success changing the public path in the CMS settings to "../images" . This will append the relative path to all uploaded images and then apply them to the Site. Be cautious, as the CMS will append this to all uploaded images, so make sure you have your files structured to use this in that manner.

See my note about about public_path, and another previous note about linking relative paths in the Markdown files.

What's happening is that the image isn't being found by the graphql query. So you need to make the paths relative.

It's been working fine for me.

Thanks Michael ! I didn't understand I had to modify the .md files as well. It works fine for me too. I have some warnings in my IDE about the paths now, but at least I can finally do some work.

If anyone gets here and are already using relative path, this error will also show up if you have image files that have caps in the filename. I had to lowercase all the img filenames to get it to work properly.
