The plugin does not supported on Grafana 8

Bug Report

After upgrading the Grafana 8 the plugin stopped working and it seems like it is not supported on Grafana 8.
It seems to work fine up to Grafana version 7.5.7

I have the same. Even with environment variables

GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS: 'doitintl-bigquery-datasource'
GF_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS: 'doitintl-bigquery-datasource'

I get the following logs:

✔ Downloaded doitintl-bigquery-datasource v1.0.8 zip successfully
lvl=warn msg="Some plugin scanning errors were found" logger=plugins errors="plugin 'doitintl-bigquery-datasource' is unsigned"
lvl=info msg="inserting datasource from configuration " logger=provisioning.datasources name="Google BigQuery" uid=
lvl=eror msg="Could not find plugin definition for data source: doitintl-bigquery-datasource"

And in a dashboard using the BigQuery data source it shows the following warnings:

Failed to upgrade legacy queries Datasource named Google BigQuery was not found

Error updating options: Datasource named Google BigQuery was not found

Haven't found a way to fix it yet other then rolling back to 7.x.

The plugin configurations page shows the following message.

And links to page https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/plugins/plugin-signatures/. So perhaps a new release with a signature needs to be created?

[JorritSalverda]

Turns out I used the wrong envvar for allowing unsigned plugins. Setting

GF_PLUGINS_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS: 'doitintl-bigquery-datasource'

It then logs

✔ Downloaded doitintl-bigquery-datasource v1.0.8 zip successfully
t=2021-06-09T13:45:17+0000 lvl=info msg="Config overridden from Environment variable" logger=settings var="GF_PLUGINS_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS=doitintl-bigquery-datasource"
t=2021-06-09T13:45:23+0000 lvl=warn msg="Running an unsigned plugin" logger=plugins pluginID=doitintl-bigquery-datasource pluginDir=/var/lib/grafana/plugins/doitintl-bigquery-datasource/dist
t=2021-06-09T13:45:23+0000 lvl=info msg="Registering plugin" logger=plugins id=doitintl-bigquery-datasource

A bit weird that it logs such an old data source, even though https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/doitintl-bigquery-datasource/ says it's at version 2.0.1.

However it does make the dashboards load fine for now. Would be nice though if it gets signed and this unsecure loading isn't needed.

The plugin version 2.0.1 has a dependency for Grafana 7:

This is the reason it's not working on version 2.0.1 and downloading version 1.0.8 (in this version the grafanaDependency is NULL)

[JorritSalverda]

Given that the grafanaDependency property is evaluated using node-semver - see https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges - it's value should probably be changed to ">=7.0.0" to get this to work.

[JorritSalverda]

With #344 merged i think this can be closed. When can we expect a 2.0.3 release?

[ofir5300]

Hi @JorritSalverda, It is hard to tell when to expect 2.0.3 (I had a major delays with Grafana approvers on v2.0.2...)

[briantopping]

Is it worth leaving this open until 2.0.3 is released so people can get notified? Apologies if that's not the way things work around here, I'm new....

[ofir5300]

@briantopping eventually this update was included in v2.0.2 release
