Hey @bamboocreative,

Can you share the contentful block of your _config.yml file so we can look at what might be happening? Obfuscate your keys if content is not public

Cheers

[bamboocreative]

See below @dlitvakb. Out of curiosity, would this be caused by needing to upgrade the account?

contentful:
  spaces:
    - example:
      space: 1234_space_id
      access_token: 1234_production_content_delivery_api_key

[dlitvakb]

Hey @bamboocreative,

Found your issue, the space and access_token keys are indented a level less than they what are supposed to be. YAML is a very strict white-space based format, and can be a bit painful sometimes with deeply nested structures.

What do you mean "upgrade the account"? This should work from Free to Enterprise tiers without exception.

Hope this helps

[bamboocreative]

@dlitvakb you rock. I figured it was something silly like that. An yes, it works for the free account, saw a mention somewhere else that mentioned account issues. Works great now. Thanks

[dlitvakb]

@bamboocreative No problem! Glad to help! 👍

@dlitvakb Same issue here, but different message:

bundle exec jekyll contentful --trace  
Configuration file: /home/carles/Projectes/jekyll/jekyll.me/_config.yml  
Starting Contentful import  
/home/carles/.rbenv/versions/2.1.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/jekyll-contentful-data-import-1.2.1/lib/jekyll-contentful-data-import/mappers/base.rb:50: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

This is my Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'jekyll', '3.1.3'
gem 'contentful_bootstrap'

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

And this my config settings:

contentful:
  spaces:
    - example:
        space: SPACE_ID
        access_token: TOKEN
        cda_query:
          include: 2

[dlitvakb]

Hey @zuzust,

Can you provide me your Content Types JSON Preview? Do you happen to have any circular reference?

Cheers

[zuzust]

@dlitvakb sure, here you are...

Author.txt
Category.txt
Cat_videos.txt
Post.txt

[dlitvakb]

Hey @zuzust,

In fact, you have a circular reference between Author and Post, therefore creating this infinite loop which causes your error, please consider removing the link from author to posts (in your author content type), as your post will already include author data, and if you need the back reference you can fetch it with a quick search over your already serialised data.

Hope that helps

[zuzust]

@dlitvakb, you are right. Disabling that reference from response it works fine. Thanks!

[dlitvakb]

Glad it worked!
