error using tableLinks about gatsby-source-airtable HOT 5 CLOSED

It is because of non-existent records in a filtered view. No issues with your code. Case closed!

After some testing, I found that it fails only when using a linking field with a lot of records (hundreds or sometimes thousands). This is probably an AirTable api limit.

Hmm, so that is a gatsby error that I am pretty sure is thrown if you try to link to a record before it is created. As far as I can tell, Airtable doesn't have any specified api limit that I can find (each base has record limits, so I suspect that is the natural limit). I suspect what happened in my test were that order didn't matter as records were created fast enough (small number of records), but I wonder if the order matters for you since you have many more records. Try switching your tables around so you have the Chapters table first. Maybe we can solve this within in plugin at some point, but this is a good first test.

Shouldn't it be possible to use a view that is filtered? Since we specify the view, it seems odd to disable the functionality that views are meant to apply.

@jckw it is possible, but their error was due to trying to link records together that didn't exist as far as Gatsby was concerned. This was due to the fact that those records were filtered out. Hopefully that makes it more clear?
