Data sources migration doesn't work

[yu-iskw]

Issue

I executed redash-migrate data_sources to migrate data sources for BigQuery from the hosted redash to the self-hosted redash. In reality, I am able to see the list of data sources on the self-hosted environment. But, the connection tests don't work.

It seems that redash-migrate check_data_sources looks good.

$ redash-migrate check_data_sources
You have entered 7 data sources into meta.json. Your source instance contains 7 data sources.

Check complete. OK
Saving meta...

Expected behaviors

The migrated data sources work without re-registering the credentials.

Hi @yu-iskw

Expected behaviors: The migrated data sources work without re-registering the credentials.

This is not the expected behavior. The data_sources command only creates stubs of your data sources. You will need to re-enter your auth credentials manually. I will open a PR that makes this clear in the README.

It's not possible to completely migrate the data sources including the credentials because redash-migrate uses the API, and the API never sends credentials in the clear.

Closing this issue now. Would appreciate your eyes on #89 before it merges in case more information / clarity is needed.

@susodapop I understand. And that make sense due to the security. Thank you for updating the docs.
