gatsby: TypeError: getNodesByType is not a function

Description

Hi there, I’ve been following the tutorials on gatsbyjs.org, and on part 6 I run into this issue where my app will crash whenever I try to query something with graphql.

Steps to reproduce

Here’s the github link to the project ➡️ https://github.com/ChariseWalraven/gatsby-graphql-crash

Expected result

GraphiQL and GraphQL should respond with the data from the markdown file.

Actual result

Crashed with the following error: screenshot from 2018-10-29 22-00-03 screenshot from 2018-10-29 22-00-11

This is a dependency issue. You need gatsby 2.0.33 or later.

I ran into this similar error today and I deleted all my node modules & package-lock.json, ran npm install again, and that seemed to fix the issue. I am not entirely sure why that worked but it was a workaround that allowed me to keep moving on the tutorial. I hope that helps!

The issue was that I was on an older version of Gatsby. I was on 2.0.19.

Running a yarn add gatsby put me up to the new version.

I think I might have accidentally put it back by installing a separate package. Either way, it’s what did the trick. Make sure you check your package.json file to see if your version of gatsby is over 2.0.33 like @stefanprobst said.

Cheers guys ☕

I’ll conclude this issue as a dependency error! Thanks for the help everyone.

Sure thing! Here ➡️ https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world/blob/master/package.json Currently the version is 2.0.0

As a side note, would it be possible to update the gatsby version on the tutorial as well? I’m sure I’m not going to be the last one to have this issue if the version on the tutorial stays the same. 🤔

@elebumm Now is solved. I’m using 2.0.33 and now we have a solution for the issue I reference above. I’m finally able to run develop, build and deploy to Netlify. I appreciate the help!
