fauna-gatsby-comments's Issues

unable to login locally

I was able to follow along with your article (which is great, thanks by the way!) up until the part with Netlify Identity, where:

• On the admin route, clicking either Sign Up or Login will create a grey modal background but no dialog shows. This prevents me from creating a user.
• I was however able to create a user by going to the Netlify-deployed environment, clicking Login, then within the dialog switching to Sign Up (which seems to subvert a bit your intention with the sign up env flag?)
• I pushed a commit to log out the user's id and added it to Netlify's GATSBY_ADMIN_ID environment variables and redeployed.
• I'm then able to write comments and approve them on the deployed site.

Unfortunately, this prevents development locally beyond viewing posts.

I tried updating netlify-identity-widget to the latest 1.6.0 version. Also tried in an incognito to rule out extensions interfering. Neither had any effect.

The only modification I made to your instructions was to add --host 0.0.0.0 to the develop script so that I could reach the local server from another machine. There's no script errors reported. I'm on Chrome 83.

error Missing onError handler for invocation 'building-schema'

Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorial! Everything was going great until I tried to run the server locally after installing with npm, where I got this error:

error Missing onError handler for invocation 'building-schema', error was 'Error: Cannot create as TypeComposer the following value: Date.'. Stacktrace was 'Error: Cannot create as TypeComposer the following value: Date.

It built without any errors on Netlify. Managed to get around it by using yarn instead of npm but thought I'd mention it in case it's helpful! Thanks again for the tutorial.
