docker-compose example fails to provision dashboards

[tpaschalis]

What's wrong?

If you navigate to the examples folder and try to docker compose up -d you'll notice the alloy-example-provision-dashboards-1 container failing to start with a message about jsonnet function.

The isEmpty function has been available in Jsonnet since version 0.20.0, so it may be one of the dependencies but the grizzly version we're pinned against uses an older version

Steps to reproduce

Try to start up the docker-compose example

When I tried to address this I ran into another issue with grizzly :( https://github.com/grafana/grizzly/issues/456#issuecomment-2182784343 May be worth to wait until it is resolved if anyone wants to pick this up.
