Error message from the 'Get Item Job Instance' endpoint missing details
Hello,
we noticed that approximately from June, 22 the 'Get Item Job Instance' endpoint stopped to return an error details message in the response and it's always just 'Pipeline run Failed.' and nothing else.
Is that an intenional change? And if yes is there a way to get error details through API somehow?
How it was:
How it is now:
Hello Konstantin_K,
Based on your screenshots, it does appear that the behavior has changed.
Previously, the Get Item Job Instance endpoint returned the underlying pipeline/notebook error details, whereas it now only returns the generic message: Pipeline run Failed.If this change started around the same time for all pipelines and there were no changes to your implementation, it could be due to a backend service update or API regression rather than an issue with your code.
As a workaround, you could:Check the Pipeline run details in the Fabric portal for the full activity-level error.
Review the Notebook run logs (if the failure originates from a notebook), as they typically contain the detailed exception.
If you're relying on the API for automated monitoring, I'd recommend opening a Microsoft support ticket or raising it through the Fabric Ideas/Community, as the loss of detailed error information impacts troubleshooting and automation scenarios.
It would be useful if Microsoft could clarify whether this is an intentional API change or an issue that will be addressed in a future update.

Hi. There is no announcement of the change. The docs still the same and specify that the message should be a human readable error message. Unless you talk with support I don't think this place can help with the response of the api.
I have tried running the request and I confirm the same message "Pipeline run failed" is showing up. The text in may was detailed.
I hope that make sense
