page.isActive doesn't update after calling setPage

Hi all,

 

I'm embedding a Power BI report and have a button that will set the active page. Later I query the active page, but the original page is still set as active. Note that I do fetch the pages again using getPages(), so I'd expect to get the current values.

 

Code sample is below, it's very simple so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong (but I might well be!)

 

Any help apreciated.

 

Colin

 

var pageCodeName = "..." //name from somewhere, it is valid
var report = powerbi.embed(...);

//button calls this
function setThePage(){

//this sets the active page, I can see it switch correctly
report.setPage(pageCodeName);

//some time later, ask which page is active
window.setTimeout(function(){
        report.getPages().then(function(pages){
            for(var i=0; i<pages.length; i++){
                if(pages[i].isActive){ 
                    //this alerts the original page name, not the currently active one
                    alert(pages[i].displayName);
                }
            }
        });
    }, 10000);

}

    Hi teroman,

     

    Could you try using setActive() which makes the current page the active page of the report to see if it works in your scenario? :smileyhappy:

    page.setActive();

     

    Regards

      Nope, that doens't work either, Page1 still has isActive = true. :smileysad:

       

      If I show the nav pane and switch pages by clicking then the isActive property doesn't change either. Seems not to work at all for me.

       

      New code to switch pages:

       

       

          report.getPages().then(function(pages){
        var reqdPage = null;
        for(var i=0; i<pages.length; i++){
            if(pages[i].name)===pageName){
                reqdPage = pages[i];
                break;
            }
        }
        
        if(reqdPage){
            return reqdPage.setActive();
        }
    });
