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

[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

Oban added a transparent switch between
JasonandJSON, which must also be respected by the other packages. In this case,oban_metis behind a version.Upgrading
oban_web(Changelog — Oban Web v2.12.5) andoban_met(Changelog — Oban Met v1.0.1) to the latest versions will fix the issue:nathanl
Understood. The newer
oban_webrequiresphoenix_live_view 1.0, which is a bigger lift to upgrade to. (We even have a couple of deps that require an older version of LV.) I guess we’ll have to prioritize that or else use an older version of Oban until we can.sorentwo
There are minimal changes in Web v2.11 to support LV 1.0. The newer
oban_webmay work with a slightly older version ofphoenix_live_viewif you want to try anoverride: true.nathanl
Thanks, that will let us limp along for a bit. Specifying the oban versions you showed and
{:phoenix_live_view, "~> 0.20.17", override: true}fixes the decoding errors. It means that the Oban Web dashboard just displays{@inner_content}, but we can work to get on LiveView 1.0 before the next deploy.thiagogsr
It seems I cannot use Oban 2.19 on Elixir 1.18 with
oban_web2.10.2 andoban_met0.1.11 becauseoban_metonly encodes toJason. I can’t updateoban_webyet because we are onphoenix_live_view0.20.17 it doesn’t work.Is there a workaround for this? I had to uninstall
oban_webtemporarily until I find a solution for this without Oban downgrade.Have you considered a config option on Oban to select the json library?
sorentwo
You can use
oban_metv1.0 withoverride: trueto force it. There aren’t any API changes between v0.1.11 and v1.0.0 andoban_webcan use it just fine.thiagogsr
Thank you!
