Make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue - thank you!

• [x] I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if any
• [x] I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset
• [x] I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven't found one similar

Superset version

0.23.2

Expected results

when create a new dashboard with some slice, we can view the slice(charts) in dashboard without addtional position json configuration like this:

[
    {
        "col": 1, 
        "row": 0, 
        "size_x": 8, 
        "size_y": 3, 
        "slice_id": "49"
    }, 
    {
        "col": 5, 
        "row": 3, 
        "size_x": 8, 
        "size_y": 3, 
        "slice_id": "50"
    }
]

Actual results

However in superset 0.23.2 version, the dashboard is totally empty after adding some slice(charts) in the dashboard. And if I fill in the position json in dashboard edition page as above, the slices could be shown.

Steps to reproduce

install superset 0.23.2
create a dashboard, add some slices and click into the newly added dashboard, you will see nothing.

Same problem here on version 0.23.1.

Would suggest passing on 0.23.* at this point. Hopefully we can get back to some good stable releases soon. It's been harder since the maintainer cutting the releases (me) doesn't have direct access to a big user base anymore :/

Hoping we can get back on solid grounds with 0.24.0. Please try the rc1 tag if you can

@mistercrunch: Wish I knew this sooner. Wasted a good 4 hours trying to debug the issue.

[mistercrunch]

Sorry as we're ironing out our release process. Part of the Apache process will force us to come up with steady solid releases. It probably won't make you feel better but I spent much more than 4 hours working on trying to come up with solid releases lately :(

[mistercrunch]

Knowing that 0.24.0rc1 is better than 0.23.* and the unlikelyhood of the community to really test and RC at this point (I'm assuming that the processes just aren't in place externally), maybe I should just launch it as 0.24.0.

+1 for stable release as we're evaluating Superset and initially discouraged when basic dashboard functionality is nonfunctional.

@napjon

Me too. I would recommend not to upgrade superset too rough. LOL

No need to apologize! Bug happens. Probably a good principle to sort through GitHub issues after spending 1 hour debugging cryptic bug.

Thank you for your hard work on creating such an immensely useful tool. Been using it to speed up all of my report/summary.

[cah-jeffgraham]

Agree with @napjon on appreciating all the hard work thats been put into tool. We're hoping this will help our data discovery teams.

0.24.0 is out, closing
