Dashboards with missing references display unhelpful/unclear error toasts #44504

Closed EthanStrider closed 1 year ago

EthanStrider commented 5 years ago

Describe the feature: The error message when a nested reference (reference of a reference) is missing is cryptic at best. Haven't tested the error message for a direct missing reference.

Describe a specific use case for the feature: Makes it easier to debug Kibana saved object issues

Steps to produce this error

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard tab
  2. Click on any dashboard with missing references
  3. This error will pop up and the dashboard won't load

Note, this could be related to other missing JSON bits inside the referenced objects. For example, the vizualization exists, but is malformed. I didn't test extensively to see exactly what caused this, but I'm fairly certain the JSON for the dashboards was fine.
