Panel plugin not found : grafana-piechart-panel

[Xavier59]

Hello,

I would like to report a bug :

• Grafana Version : Grafana v6.3.2 (docker image)
• PieChart version : 1.3.8

Image of the problem : While googling, I found another user with the same problem : https://community.grafana.com/t/panel-plugin-not-found-grafana-piechart-panel/16953

I'm using docker and i'm importing other plugins (mouting volumes in /var/lib/grafana/plugins). It works well but not for PieChart.

Thanks. Xavier

I had the exact same issue, and managed to find a solution. The install procedure with "git clone" seems wrong. The 'master' branch do not own the necessary "dist" folder, thus we should use the release-1.3.8 branch.

The command should look like :

git clone https://github.com/grafana/piechart-panel.git --branch release-1.3.8

Indeed, master seems to be missing this folder.

That is intentional ;)

On master, you can build the plugin. Or you could checkout from a released branch that includes the dist. Or use the grafana-cli to checkout the official one

I just added #18671 to show a better error

I was able to reproduce this error with Grafana v6.3.2 and grafana-piechart-panel v1.3.8, using the grafana cli to install: grafana-cli plugins install grafana-piechart-panel 1.3.8

In case anyone makes the same mistake I did... I downloaded the release.zip, extracted it, and committed it to our internal repo for deployment to our servers. I didn't realize at the time that the .gitignore contained in the release download was ignoring the dist folder so that was never deployed to our servers. I had to manually edit the .gitignore so that dist would be included.

good reminder for us to change the release process to exclude that file too!

I'll open another issue to track it.
