    So I got an answer from Microsoft support team. We need to replace NodeListOf with HTMLCollectionOf in visual.ts.

Anonymous For me I just Ctrl+F to find the NodeListOf and replace with HTMLCollectionOf, is this correct?

    Hi dm-p ,

     

    I had the same error while running pbiviz package. I followed your instruction and changed NodeListOf by HTMLCollectionOf in visual.ts file. Now I got the following error. I am very new to Power BI and working on fixing this error for the last 2 days. I am glad that I have a new error at this point:). I really appreciate any suggestion of how to fix the error with 'Author_name', "Author_email" and "Visual_Description".pbiviz_error

    Thanks in advance.

      Hi Anonymous,

      You will need to edit pbiviz.json in the root folder of your visual and fill in the following fields:

      • author.name
      • author.email
      • visual.description
      • visual.supportUrl

      These just have to have something in them otherwise the visual will not package correctly. Leila Etaati has an section on this in her blog post, under What is New in 2019 towards the bottom of the article if you need a visual guide.

      If you're having trouble after this, add the contents of your pbiviz.json file here (or PM me) and I'll provide you with some examples.

      Regards,

      Daniel

        Hi Daniel dm-p ,

         

        Thank you so much for your reply. I updated the pbiviz.json file with all the required information. Now I can successfully run pbiviz package command and its created a visual. I was following Leila's youtube video for installing the package. I am glad that now I have her blogpost article. Thanks again. Hopefully, I can work with the visual from now on. I will definitely PM you if anything comes up later. 

         

        Thank you so much again and I really appreciate your help. 

         

        Best Regards,

        Nahar
