[HELP] Dashboards not listed/downloaded

[bahmanm]

I'm using v0.5.0 with a simple config file as below:

context_name: testing

contexts:
  testing:
    output_path: _build/gdg
    url: http://localhost:3000
    user_name: admin
    password: admin
    ignore_filters: true

global:
  debug: true
  ignore_ssl_errors: true

I can list connections, users, organisations, etc except dashboards!

What could be missing?

I'm going to convert this to a conversation, as it's likely not a bug or issue with GDG.

A few questions. What folder are they in? By default GDG is very conservative on what it touches. Initial design was to only look at the list of watched folders. If you don't define any it'll only look at General.

    filter_override:
      ignore_dashboard_filters: false # When set to true all Watched filtered folders will be ignored and ALL folders will be acted on
    watched:
      - General
      - Other

The snippet below might need to be added depending on what you're setup looks like. Look at https://github.com/esnet/gdg/blob/master/config/importer-example.yml it has some more complex examples if you need inspiration.

Also, I think the "ignore_filters" you're trying to set isn't a valid configuration option. If you can let me know where you got that from I'll be sure to remove / update the documentation.

Let me try that and get back to you.

That was it! Thanks for the help 🙏

For posterity, here's the working config:

context_name: testing

contexts:
  testing:
    output_path: _build/gdg
    url: http://localhost:3000
    user_name: admin
    password: admin
    filter_override:
      ignore_dashboard_filters: false
    watched:
      - MY FOLDER NAME

global:
  debug: true
  ignore_ssl_errors: true

👍 glad it works for you.

A few minor notes you may want to keep in mind.

1. There are some characters that aren't allowed in folders. It was causing issues in the past. Be careful with using "/" and "".
2. I'd also suggest quoting the folders if they have spaces. It avoids weird bugs where you have a trailing space at the end or such. This isn't specific to GDG just how yaml is interpreted.
