The problem
As of currently, the
grafana_foundation_sdk
does not pass typechecking in its example.This is because the
with_target
function expects acogbuilder.Builder[cogvariants.Dataquery]
type to be passed, but the prometheus query returns a Dataquery, which inherits fromcogbuilder.Builder[prometheus.Dataquery]
.This doesn't type check, because they are not the same type, and the generic type is not marked as covariant.
Solution
Given the implementation of
build
, I believe the type is in practice covariant.Marking it as such fixes the type checking of the dashboard.
