Attempting to create a BarGauge panel with orientation="auto" raises an exception

[jwalgran]

What you expected to happen?

I can generate JSON for a dashboard with a BarGauge panel with orientation set to auto.

What happened?

Attempting to create a BarGauge panel with orientation="auto" raises an exception when running the dashboard code through generate-dashboard

How to reproduce it?

Create bargauge_auto_example.dashboard.py

from grafanalib.core import *


dashboard = Dashboard(
    panels=[
        BarGauge(orientation="auto"),
    ],
    title="Operations Dashboard",
).auto_panel_ids()

Attempt to generate JSON

 generate-dashboard bargauge_auto_example.dashboard.py > bargauge_auto_example.dashboard.json

Additional context

Definition of the BarGauge.orientation attribute is here

grafanalib/grafanalib/core.py

Lines 3372 to 3375 in c82a679

	orientation = attr.ib(
	default=ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL,
	validator=in_([ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL, ORIENTATION_VERTICAL]),
	)

The documentation for BarGauge list auto as a valid option
