grafana.grafana Ansible collection provides modules and roles for managing various resources on Grafana Cloud and roles to manage and deploy Grafana Agent and Grafana
When grafana_dashboards is non-empty, applying the Grafana role in check mode fails with an error:

"changed": false,

}
The ansible.builtin.tempfile module used by the task "Create local grafana dashboard directory" does not support check mode and thus skips itself. The consequence is that its output __tmp_dashboards is not registered, so when the following task ("Download grafana dashboard from grafana.net to local directory") tries to reference this registered variable to configure its ansible.builtin.get_url module, Ansible cannot resolve the reference and the task fails with an error.
It looks like a similar problem was solved in #125 for provisioned dashboards, but the problem remains for grafana.net dashboards.
