Accessing your Contentful space failed with gatsby-source-contentful

Question

gatsby: 2.20.8
gatsbh-source-contentful: 2.2.5

I've verified my spaceId and accessToken are correct, and I've verified that these keys have access to my Contentful development environment. I've tried:

• Enabling GATSBY_CONTENTFUL_OFFLINE
• Deleting the .cache directory
• Deleting node_modules
• Setting environment to "master" and removing it completely
• Wrapping the env vars in template literals (suggested on an old github issue)

I keep getting this error. Any ideas?

ERROR 

Accessing your Contentful space failed.
Try setting GATSBY_CONTENTFUL_OFFLINE=true to see if we can serve from cache.

Used options:
spaceId: "*********z1u"
accessToken: "*****************************************vMI'"
environment: "development"
host (default value): "cdn.contentful.com"
downloadLocal (default value): false
localeFilter (default value): [Function]
forceFullSync (default value): false
pageLimit (default value): 100
useNameForId (default value): true

And here's my code from gatsby-config.js

{
  resolve: `gatsby-source-contentful`,
  options: {
    spaceId: process.env.CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID,
    accessToken: process.env.CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN,
    environment: process.env.CONTENTFUL_ENVIRONMENT,
  },
},

Not sure if you got it working in the meantime but I had this same issue and found this on Github https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/19392 that is what you and I are having.

Apparently, in newer versions of gatsby-source-plugin it requires the key to have access to the master environment as well (which is ridiculous imo).

After giving the key access to master environment it started working.

Had a similar issue, after importing one space to another. I deleted the demo API key (which i had tried to use) and created a new one. Worked after that
