unexpected end of JSON input

We are trying to render the concept with kable_provider, but facing intermittent error unexpected end of JSON input
Here are the debug logs:

Could we have a new release to include kable pointerify fix?

A new release of provider would be great to have which includes the following fix:
redradrat/kable@24dc3f0

Thanks,

Request for a new release

add more info to the error message

terraform-provider-kable/kable/concept_data_source.go

Line 211 in 1b344cd

return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported type in values: %s", reflect.TypeOf(v).String())

can we have more info, e.g. name in the error message?

Error in rendering a concept that doesn't require any input

Issue:
Provider throws error while rendering a concept that doesn't require any input (i.e. when inputs paramaters are not set for kable_concept as they are not required by the concept)

Error: Required attribute is not set
on ../kube-state-metrics.tf line 1, in data "kable_concept" "kube_state_metrics":
1: data "kable_concept" "kube_state_metrics" {

Temporary Solution:
We need to give a dummy name, value pair as inputs in data.kable_concept.kube_state_metrics to bypass this error.
inputs {
name = "dummy"
value = "dummy"
}

Multiple kable_concept rendering fails because of race condition while downloading concept repo

Issue :
If we try to render multiple concepts in single terraform run then because of parallel execution it fails to render concepts.

Race condition happens here because while the 1st kable_concept is still downloading concept repo, other kable_concepts tries to render concepts and fails because concept repo is not available locally.

i.e. While the concept repo is still not downloaded completely (downloading still in-progress). other kable_concepts tries to render the concepts and fails because of unavailability of concept.json files

Here is the workaround for this issue
We can add dependency of one concept to other concepts so that it waits till the time concept is downloaded properly

e.g

data "kable_concept" "A" {
  repo {
    name = "repo"
    url  = "https://git.com/infra/concepts.git"
    username = var.concept_repo_username
    password = var.concept_repo_password
  }
 id = "A@repo"
  inputs {
    name  = "name"
    value = "main"
  }
}
data "kable_concept" "B" {
  repo {
    name = "repo"
    url  = "https://git.com/infra/concepts.git"
    username = var.concept_repo_username
    password = var.concept_repo_password
  }
 id = "B@repo"
  inputs {
    name  = "name"
    value = "main"
  }
depends_on = [data.kable_ceonpt.A]
}
