altText metadata field doesn't exist

[lorraineS]

The altText field does not exist in my GraphQL query. Nothing to report concerning the title and description fields

However, when uploading the media, I have the possibility of adding this ALT attribute:

Is this a bug or does it require additional action?

Thanks

@lorraineS I believe this might be a gatsby source issue. I'm not familiar with Gatsby, so I can't offer much advice right now – except that I believe gatsby-plugin-sanity-image might help you get around this issue (search for sanity-plugin-media on that README)

I can however confirm that altText is officially on the image asset document schema, and is accessible via Sanity's GraphQL endpoint (e.g. when running sanity graphql deploy)

@lorraineS thanks for reporting!

I couldn't reproduce this, can you double-check if you ran sanity graphql deploy --playground after installing the media plugin? Also, could you test to see if Sanity's GraphQL playground is exposing altText?

Thanks in advance 🙌

For reference, here's what I'm getting in Graph_i_QL:
