    Ufff I found the solution, have the same problem as yours tries many different ways install and create certificate. 

     

    One mistake I was doing earlier was not installing my certificate in proper location and the proper location was Trusted Root Certification Authorities. I always did first option.. uuuh

I have tried https://localhost:8080/assets/status:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

localhost sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

 

I have tried updating using:

npm install -g powerbi-visuals-tools

 

C:\Users\gensminger\CustomVisual\d3joy>pbiviz update
info Visual api 1.7.0 updated

C:\Users\gensminger\CustomVisual\d3joy>pbiviz start
info Building visual...
done build complete

info Starting server...
info Server listening on port 8080.

 

I have restarted all browsers, I have tried deleting browser history and cookies, and I have rebooted my machine.  

 

Unfortunately still same result.

g4ege Could you please confirm that your firewall doesn't block PBIVIZ server? You might check it by disabling firewall.

    Please try to do these steps below. I suppose that they might resolve the issue.

    1. pbiviz start
    2. Open https://localhost:8080/assets/status in Google Chrome
    3. Open the Advanced
    4. Click the Proceed to localhost (unsafe)
    5. Back to the report with your debug visual
    6. Reload visual code

     

    Please let us know if it resolves the issue.

    Yes, I have disabled the Windows Firewall - for both public and private profile.  Same result.'

     

    I also checked port 8080 with pbiviz start running: '

     

    C:\Users\gensminger>netstat -ano | findstr 8080
    TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1744
    TCP [::]:8080 [::]:0 LISTENING 1744

     

    And then stopped the pbiviz server and no longer showed 8080 LISTENING.
