Error Pulling In Data

[mattonomics]

I'm new to Jekyll and Contentful, so hang with me as I figure this out :)

I'm running a new install of Jekyll 3.1.6 locally and when running jekyll contentful I'm getting the following error:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/jekyll-contentful-data-import-1.2.1/lib/jekyll-contentful-data-import/mappers/base.rb:82: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

I'd really appreciate any help/advice on getting this error resolved. Thank you!

Hey @mattonomics,

This happens when you have circular references in your Content Types.

Try to remove the fields that are causing the circular reference and that should solve the issue.

Hope that helps

@dlitvakb Upfront apology again for my ignorance, but I'm not sure what you mean. It's not 100% clear to me what I can show you that would be helpful, but here's what I added to the _config.yml file:

# Contentful Settings

contentful:
  spaces:
    - post:
        space: 111 # the real space id is here
        access_token: 111 # the real token is here

The entire contents of my Gemfile is

source 'https://rubygems.org'

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem "jekyll-contentful-data-import"
end

In my Contentful instance I'm using the pre-populated example content (Author, Cat videos, Category, Post).

I hope that this is helpful for you to guide me on fixing. I'm extremely grateful that you've made yourself available to assist!!

Hey @mattonomics,

If you go to the Contentful Web App, enter your space, and go to Content Types -> Author, there is a reference field called Created entries, disable that field.

After that, everything should work again.

This issue is being caused by having a circular reference in your Content Model

Hope this helps

Cheers
