Plugin auxmoney-waterfall-panel is not installable by grafana-cli

Hi,

we added a new panel plugin in #863 and installed it successfully in our production environment using the ZIP file provided at grafana.com. Now, an external user tried to install it by grafana-cli in his/her environment, but got the error ( see auxmoney/grafana-waterfall-panel#8 ):

failed to find plugin 'auxmoney-waterfall-panel' in plugin repository. Please check if plugin ID is correct

I can reproduce this behaviour in a fresh grafana docker environment, and additionally, grafana plugins list-remote does not even show our plugin, which explains the error at install time.

What steps do we need to make in order to make our plugin available for grafana-cli? Did we misconfigure something?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
@cawolf

Hi @cawolf and @shidaying,

I'm able to install the plugin when using 7.5.7 but not on 8.0. Could you confirm that is the case for you as well?

The plugin has defined the grafanaDependency as 7.x.x, which means that it won't be discoverable by anyone using 8.0.

@cawolf If you'd like to extend support for 8.0, I recommend setting grafanaDependency to something like >=7.0, or 7.x | 8.x, and publishing a new version.

Hi @marcusolsson ,

thank you for pointing us in the right direction. I was aware of Grafana 8 being released, but didn't make the connection. I will fix this with a version union and create a new version and PR to update your plugin repository as well.

Looking forward to it! We'll be improving the error message to make this a little clearer.
