StaticQuery is not working

[gforro]

The static queries stop to work, when the gatsby-source-prismic-graphql plugin is configured to be used. The problem is that the query is stucked for some reasons and the Loading (StaticQuery) message is shown in a page, where a component with a simple static query is used. It is enough to use the static-query example from this repositories to reproduce the problem. Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Add the following to the package.json (to fix the issue in gatsby-source-graphql-universal - Error: Cannot find module './third-party/gatsby-node):
   Add to the scripts part:

   "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions",
   

   Add to the root part:

   "resolutions": {
     "gatsby-source-graphql-universal": "3.3.0"
   }

2. Add the following to the gatsby-node.js to fix the issue with the cache (problem when gatsby cache is cleaned):

   let fs = require("fs")
   let dir = "./.cache/caches/gatsby-source-prismic-graphql"
   
   exports.onPreBootstrap = () => {
     if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
       fs.mkdirSync(dir)
     }
   }
   

3. Uncomment the <Layout> part in the index.js page.

Now You will get the problem!

The problem is caused by a change in the gatsby's babel-plugin-remove-graphql-queries which is shadowed in the implementation of gatsby-source-graphql-universal.

Change in the gatsbyjs:
gatsbyjs/gatsby@752f5ff#diff-a46d7772b3756095c8e95b889d9b1df1

Hi @gforro can you make the PR here and we'll merge it into an upstream package?

If anyone is having the same issue with staticquery, or an issue with a broken dependency in the gatsby-source-prismic-graphql, I fixed mine by switching from this branch to the @prismicio branch mentioned by @MarcMcIntosh that has more fixes applied.

For NPM newbies like me that need more specific instructions:

The easiest way I found to seamlessly switch to the prismic fork was to remove the old package, and then install the prismic version as an alias
npm i gatsby-source-prismic-graphql@npm:@prismicio/gatsby-source-prismic-graphql

Can also be done by adding this to your package.json dependencies
"gatsby-source-prismic-graphql": "npm:@prismicio/gatsby-source-prismic-graphql@^3.6.10",
