Summary

  • flatten single-element arrays for SchemaTypeObject fields only when serializing generated examples
  • keep shared paved manifests array-shaped while references such as metadata[0].uid are resolved
  • cover nested objects, objects inside lists, already-flattened values, and reference-source preservation

Background

The HCL-to-JSON scraper represents blocks as arrays. Terraform Plugin Framework NestingModeSingle attributes are represented by Upjet as SchemaTypeObject and generated as embedded CRD objects, so retaining the array produces invalid example manifests.

Reference paths are derived from the original Terraform representation and can contain indexes such as metadata[0].uid. The generated manifest must therefore remain array-shaped through reference resolution. This change deep-copies each resolved manifest and flattens SchemaTypeObject values only in the copy serialized to YAML, leaving shared reference sources unchanged.

Testing

  • go test ./pkg/examples/... ./pkg/config/conversion/...
  • go test ./pkg/...
  • grafana/crossplane-provider-grafana#673 pins this PR branch and exercises provider generation, generated example output, build, lint, unit tests, and local deployment in CI

Fixes #656

Supersedes #657.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The example generator now copies paved manifests before serialization, flattens single-element SchemaTypeObject blocks in the copy, and preserves the array-shaped source used for reference resolution. Tests cover nested objects, existing objects, source preservation, and YAML output.

Changes

Manifest flattening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Copy and flatten serialized manifests
pkg/examples/example.go
writeManifest deep-copies paved content before processing. flattenSchemaTypeObjects recursively unwraps single-element object lists based on the resource schema.
Validate flattening and source preservation
pkg/examples/example_test.go
Tests verify nested object flattening, unchanged already-flattened values, preserved reference paths, and valid YAML output.

Use the required test case fields.

Thank you for adding targeted cases. Please rename params to args and add a reason field for each case. This keeps the table consistent with the required args/want pattern and makes failures explain the covered behavior.

As per path instructions: “args/want pattern” and “proper test case naming and reason fields.”

Use one compatible JSON-map representation instead of any.

The checked-in Go guidance prohibits any and defines no JSON-manifest exception. This path must still use dynamic JSON maps because fieldpath.Pave consumes the copied manifest and GetValue returns dynamic values. A typed manifest struct cannot replace these values. Use one map[string]interface{} representation consistently at the listed production and test sites, or define an equivalent repository type.

Using map[string]any seems consistent with the rest of the code in this file.

@Duologic, agreed. map[string]any is consistent with the existing dynamic manifest maps in this file.

The concern is only about the repository-wide rule that prohibits any in Go code. any and interface{} have the same Go semantics, so changing this declaration alone would not improve behavior. Should dynamic JSON manifests be an explicit exception to that rule? If yes, I can withdraw this finding.

@Duologic, understood. We can wait for repository-owner guidance on whether dynamic JSON manifests are an exception to the any rule.

## Summary

- replace the Grafana organization upjet fork with `Duologic/upjet` on
the branch proposed in
[crossplane/upjet#753](crossplane/upjet#753)
- use the `SchemaNestingModeSingle` fixes now merged upstream via
[crossplane/upjet#593](crossplane/upjet#593)
- test the remaining generated-example serialization fix from
[crossplane/upjet#753](crossplane/upjet#753)
against this provider
- upgrade crossplane-runtime and Crossplane APIs to v2.4.0 and migrate
common API imports to `crossplane/apis/v2/core/v2`
- update crossplane-tools and regenerate APIs, controllers, CRDs,
examples, and schemas

## Context

[crossplane/upjet#593](crossplane/upjet#593) now
handles Plugin Framework `SchemaNestingModeSingle` blocks as
configurable `SchemaTypeObject` fields. The remaining issue is generated
examples: HCL represents blocks as arrays, while these CRD fields are
embedded objects.

[crossplane/upjet#753](crossplane/upjet#753)
keeps shared manifests array-shaped while references such as
`metadata[0].uid` are resolved, then flattens `SchemaTypeObject` values
only in the copy serialized to YAML. This provider PR pins that branch
to test the change end-to-end. It also demonstrates additional
corrections for deeply nested object fields in the AlertEnrichment
examples.

The personal fork is used because Grafana organization fork signing
requirements complicate iterating on fork branches. The commits proposed
upstream are GPG-signed.
