Error: cannot apply the batch operation on a replica index

[lopandpe]

Hi there!

Maybe We have configured it wrong, but when we build our gatsby application, 50% of times it throws the same error message:

ERROR  UNKNOWN

failed to index to Algolia cannot apply the batch operation on a replica index


  Error: cannot apply the batch operation on a replica index


not finished onPostBuild - 0.849s

failed index to Algolia - 0.849s - Found 1 stale objects; removing...

 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

We have to build again and then it works perfectly.

This is an example of how do we create the queries:

const queries = [
  {
    indexName: esIndexName,
    query: ActivitiesQuery,
    transformer: ({ data }: { data: ActivitiesResponse }) =>
      data.api.products.map(activityToAlgoliaRecord),
    settings: {
      attributesToSnippet: [`description:20`],
      attributesForFaceting: [...],
      searchableAttributes: [...],
      replicas: Object.values(replicas.es).map((value) => `virtual(${value})`),
    },
  },
  {
    indexName: replicas.es.PRICE_DESC,
    query: ActivitiesQuery,
    transformer: ({ data }: { data: ActivitiesResponse }) =>
      data.api.products.map(activityToAlgoliaRecord),
    settings: {
      customRanking: [...],
    },
  },
  {
    indexName: replicas.es.PRICE_ASC,
    query: ActivitiesQuery,
    transformer: ({ data }: { data: ActivitiesResponse }) =>
      data.api.products.map(activityToAlgoliaRecord),
    settings: {
      customRanking: [...],
    },
  }
];

Anyone has or had the same problem?

Thanks!
