[Bug] Unable to set secureJsonData.basicAuthPassword in GrafanaDatasource about grafana-operator HOT 4 CLOSED

I just discovered this as well and have figured out the cause.

Recently the grafana-operator moved to use the grafana-openapi-client and unfortunately it has secureJsonFields instead of secureJsonData. See this line. So, when the datasource controller attempts to unmarshal here it sets secureJsonFields to nil as it doesn't know about secureJsonData.

I'd assume that in order to not break backward compatibility, getDatasourceContent would probably need to do this mapping.

Actually, looking more at this, SecureJSONFields is a map of bool, so actually, kinda looks like issue is that models.DataSource is the wrong thing to use as it's assuming that secure data is not available (hence bool instead of a value).

Seems like either models.AddDataSourceCommand or models.UpdateDataSourceCommand would need to be used instead (the difference being that UpdateDataSourceCommand has a Version).

So I will close this issue since it's a duplicate of #1482.
We are aware of the bug and any help around it would be greatly appreciated.

As mentioned in #1482, I ran into this and have gotten to the bottom of it. Opened #1488 which fixes this.

edit: just realized this requires a CLA, will need to talk with my employer to see about getting this :-/
