'allow-popups' error

luojiandanPBI — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 11:52:12 GMT

hello,I create a custom visual,enables users to use "echarts" in powerbi.

However, there are some features that can be implemented in ECharts, but not in PowerBI.

here is the error message:

Blocked opening '' in a new window because the request was made in a sandboxed frame whose 'allow-popups' permission is not set.

and this is ok.

what's wrong with me?

thanks for you help.

Hi @luojiandanPBI,

I don't know Echarts, but I presume that there might still be a listener that they add to the hyperlink that is causing the problem. In your applied event, you may need to stop propagation and prevent any default events from firing (that's where I'd start looking, at least).

Something like this might work (or give you something to look into further:

p1.addEventListener("click", (event) => { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); this.host.launchUrl(ele.url); });

You could also try attaching the JS debugger in that method and stepping through to see where the code goes . If this doesn't initiate debugging in the browser tools, it could suggest that there is an event with higher precendence than yours and you may need to think about when to apply yours.
