compass.yaml Links are being duplicated

DarrenDooley

Hello,

 

I am encountering a duplication issue when adding Links to compass.yaml files. Whenever a new Link is added to my compass.yaml file, the Link is duplicated in the web UI.

 

If I then make any subsequent update to my compass.yaml, such as adding a label, I encounter the following error:

Last compass.yml sync failed

The most recent compass.yml had errors:

• Component link with ID [c7a60cab-2a80-48c8-9a55-495f61745e4b] does not exist

Hi, @DarrenDooley ! Thank you for reaching out.

Not sure yet what could have caused a duplicated link and the original synchronization error for the provided component, but a workaround for these situations could be a fresh re-sync with the config-as-code Compass configuration as generated by the application, which would consist of the following steps:

1. Delete the related config-as-code (compass.yml) file that this component is linking to from the last sync results in the `.../config-as-code` URL
2. Check the `/config-as-code` section in your component
   1. It should now provide a fresh config-as-code in a format that would ensure proper synchronization
3. Push a new update using the generated compass.yml file.

Looking at the logs, it looks like the most recent sync errors are due to custom fields where the option display value is sent instead of the ID? However, something like:

customFields:
  - name: 'Has NewRelic Dashboard'
    type: 'single_select'
    displayValue: yes

Would seem okay to me.

In any case, let me know whether the generated file differs from your original configuration, and whether the fresh resync fixes it!
