Nil dashboard[:dashboard_layouts]

[jiepiao]

Hi,

We are getting nil for dashboard[:dashboard_layouts] for couple of the dashboards.

Looker instance and example dashboard:
https://affinityembed.cloud.looker.com/dashboards/679
https://affinityembed.cloud.looker.com/dashboards/1129

Error message:

@jiepiao would it be possible for you to send me the dashboard exports? I haven't been able to recreate the error in my testing. If you could email them to byte-engineering@bytecode.io that would be great!

[jiepiao]

@michaelcramer Thanks for taking a look, I have sent the json file to the email you mentioned.

I noticed this can be resolved by edit/save the dashboard, seems like saving the dashboard again changing the dashboard to correct format?

Thanks!

[michaelcramer]

@jiepiao Thanks for sending! Was that export after you edited/saved the dashboard? I was able to import it just fine.
Could you also tell me what version of Looker you're running?

[jiepiao]

Interesting, I am also able to import it now.. It might because of the script to calling the gazer. Please feel free to close the issue, I will cut another if I found any issue for gazer.

Glad you got it working - thanks for letting us know, @jiepiao!

Same issue happened again for dashboard: https://affinityembed2.cloud.looker.com/dashboards/902

May I re-open this issue?

Hello @jiepiao,

Did the issue continue after trying to edited/saved the dashboard? ... also, would it be possible to send us the export?

Thank you.
Daniel

Hi @ddaugherty,

I was able to import the dashboard after edit/save, we should be able to manager the script to handle this now. I think we can close this issue.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I'm getting this same issue, was the cause ever figured out, or just a workaround? And is the workaround to edit / save the dashboard that we're updating, or the source dashboard?

Thanks!
