grafana_dashboard doesn't allow uppercase titles

[runningman84]

is there any reason for forbidding uppercase names here?

         * grafana_dashboard[MYDASH] action create_if_missing

           ================================================================================
           Error executing action `create_if_missing` on resource 'grafana_dashboard[MYDASH]'
           ================================================================================

           RuntimeError
           ------------
           MYDASH did not match the name (MYDASH) in the json

There are three values we're trying to reconcile:

• dashboard lwrp name
• json filename
• grafana dashboard name (the :slug used for lookup)

As I recall, it's not possible to have an uppercase dashboard :slug in Grafana. If that's no longer the case in future releases we should be able to alleviate this limitation. Does that answer your question?

That's ok for me, the error message was just misleading here.

@JonathanTron,
What do you think about this change to improve dashboard lwrp error logging: master...improve-err-msgs?

[JonathanTron]

Seems good to me, if someone have problem understanding what failed from error message we are generating then it's a bug. Thanks to both of you for working it out.
