Oban Met generating JSON encoding error: (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol JSON.Encoder not implemented

I see this error locally when running my application. mix deps shows versions:

  • oban 2.19.1
  • oban_met 0.1.11
  • oban_pro 1.5.0
  • oban_web 2.10.2
  • telemetry 1.3.0
  • telemetry_metrics 1.1.0
  • telemetry_poller 1.1.0
[error] GenServer {Oban.Registry, {Oban, Oban.Met.Listener}} terminating
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol JSON.Encoder not implemented for type Oban.Met.Values.Gauge (a struct), the protocol must be explicitly implemented.

If you have a struct, you can derive the implementation specifying which fields should be encoded to JSON:

    @derive {JSON.Encoder, only: [....]}
    defstruct ...

It is also possible to encode all fields, although this should be used carefully to avoid accidentally leaking private information when new fields are added:

    @derive JSON.Encoder
    defstruct ...

Finally, if you don't own the struct you want to encode to JSON, you may use Protocol.derive/3 placed outside of any module:

    Protocol.derive(JSON.Encoder, NameOfTheStruct, only: [...])
    Protocol.derive(JSON.Encoder, NameOfTheStruct). This protocol is implemented for the following type(s): Atom, BitString, Date, DateTime, Decimal, Duration, Float, Integer, List, Map, NaiveDateTime, Oban.Pro.Producer, Oban.Pro.Producer.Meta.GlobalLimit, Oban.Pro.Producer.Meta.GlobalLimit.Partition, Oban.Pro.Producer.Meta.RateLimit, Oban.Pro.Producer.Meta.RateLimit.Partition, Time

Got value:

    %Oban.Met.Values.Gauge{data: [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]}

Is there a workaround for this?

You can use oban_met v1.0 with override: true to force it. There aren’t any API changes between v0.1.11 and v1.0.0 and oban_web can use it just fine.

Oban Core Team

Oban added a transparent switch between Jason and JSON, which must also be respected by the other packages. In this case, oban_met is behind a version.

Upgrading oban_web (Changelog — Oban Web v2.12.5) and oban_met (Changelog — Oban Met v1.0.1) to the latest versions will fix the issue:

{:oban_web, "~> 2.11"},
{:oban_met, "~> 1.0"}
