New [Unified Alerts] API is broken

For any alert created through the Grafana 8 alerting API, I am getting this error in the Grafana server logs:

t=2021-11-02T10:04:33-0400 lvl=eror msg="QueryData error: unable to parse json {\"dateTimeType\":\"DATETIME\",\"extrapolate\":true,\"format\":\"time_series\",\"formattedQuery\":\"SELECT $timeSeries as t, count() FROM $table WHERE $timeFilter GROUP BY t ORDER BY t\",\"hide\":false,\"intervalFactor\":1,\"intervalMs\":1000,\"maxDataPoints\":43200,\"query\":\"SELECT 1\\n\",\"rawQuery\":true,\"refId\":\"A\",\"round\":\"0s\",\"skip_comments\":true}. Error: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field Query.rawQuery of type string" logger=plugins.backend pluginId=vertamedia-clickhouse-datasource

My alert query is SELECT 1. I get the same error regardless of which table I choose as the data source. I can trigger this error message by clicking Reformat Query or Run Queries. In the Generated SQL dropdown, all that is displayed is true.

Grafana v8.2.2 and ClickHouse-Grafana v2.3.1

@derN3rd thanks a lot for suggestions, Unfortunately, we can’t apply it, cause clickhouse-grafana plugin have different logic than MySQL we simplify first stage interface and on first screen we just set up the table, database and datatime type and datetime field and date field (not required)

And we have many client macros, which we can’t be resolved on client side before pass to backend. Cause, currently, grafana doesn’t provide way to access scopedVariables when use unified alerts and pass data directly to golang backend part to /api/v1/eval instead of try to process it via datasource.ts on browser side

Only one approach will work, try to implement full compatible with sql_query.ts and scanner.ts SQL parser on golang part, but it requires a lot of work and need provide lot of tests.

@Slach thanks for looking into this!
