Error when syncing: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Board.panels

[telmich]

Using grafana-sync I receive this error on a specific dashboard:

/ # grafana-sync pull-dashboards --apikey="..." --directory=dashboards --url https://emonitor1.place6.ungleich.ch
2022/02/05 12:08:18 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Board.panels of type string for db/uplink-monitoring-2022

Does it help if I paste the dashboard json in here?

This is an issue with grafana SDK itself. I have opened an issue here grafana-tools/sdk#130. But it is not resolved yet. Can you upvote the issue there? Maybe it will speed up process

[mpostument]

This error theoretically should be fixed once generics are released grafana-tools/sdk#190 (comment)

[telmich]

I was wondering if there is any progress now that the grafana-tools/sdk#190 has been merged?

[mpostument]

I will deploy new version today

[mpostument]

The new version is built - https://github.com/mpostument/grafana-sync/releases/tag/1.4.8
Please check if this will solve you issue

[telmich]

I can confirm that a grafana-sync pull & push works smoothly now!

Pulled from grafana 8.3.4
Pushed to grafana 8.4.4

Thanks a lot for fixing it!

We are still seeing this error with the 1.7.0 release. For example:

2024/02/22 15:47:33 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Target.targets.groupBy of type string (panel "CPU usage/s for $instance" of type "graph") (panel "Resources" of type "row") for db/alertmanager
2024/02/22 15:47:35 unmarshal board: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field Target.targets.tags of type []struct { Key string "json:\"key,omitempty\""; Operator string "json:\"operator,omitempty\""; Value string "json:\"value,omitempty\"" } (panel "Global Samples Sent by Remote" of type "timeseries") for db/prometheus-remote-storage-stats
