Can't See Why Dataflow Fails to Publish
Hello,
I have a Dataflow Gen2 failing to publish. I can click the "Publish" button in the bottom right, which works and takes me back to the Workspace page. On the workspace page, I can see the loading-circle working on publishing. It then gives me a failure symbol.
It is not failing to refresh-- refreshes actually work; it just fails to publish the changes I've made.
There's a red exclamation point error (in the publishing spot, not in the refreshing spot), but when I try to hover over it, this disappears and is replaced by the refresh / schedule refresh / etc. buttons. I'm not able to figure out any way to actually see the content of the error which should reveal why the dataflow cannot publish.
How it looks after publishing:

Any ideas how I can see what the actual error is, preventing the dataflow from publishing?
Ah I see what the problem is, the columns already have min-width on them, so in theory they should accomodate the display of the ! sign. However, since your DF has long-ish names, the name field took over the space and pushed the ! to the right far enough that it gets painted over by hover buttons...
There is no workaround for this other than editing the DF and shorten the name for now. The UI team will need to fix this.

Hi AlanZ
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
At this time, we are reaching out to the internal team to get some help on this. We will update you once we hear back from them.
ThanksThanks for your help, Anonymous ; let me know if they have any questions I can answer.
AlanZ - can you click on the triangle ! sign, that should pop up a dialog with more error details
Thanks, pqian_MSFT . I was trying to explain above that I actually can't! When I move my mouse over the triangle ! sign, it's replaced by other options. I can't find any way to actually see what the error is.
I'm glad to message you a video if you that isn't clear. Not sure I want to make a video publicly visible in case there's any sensitive information I miss.
As soon as I move my mouse to hover over the triangle !, it's replaced with the refresh options.

The hover menu is paving over the ! sign, you can press (ctrl -) to zoom out enough so you give the ! enough real estate to paint again.
In my case the problem was I edited the dataflow (adding/changing columns a bit) but didn't re-visit the Mapping portion of the Connection. So basically the column definitions weren't aligned.
