sample barchart application runs but it's blank

arashaga — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 18:21:05 GMT

I can run the sample barchart from here without errors but whe I test it, it only shows the texts of field that I choose and does not show the barcharts. Also, i tried that debugger and @logexception decorator acording tot he instruction in the other post and can't get the debuger spit out anything. Can someone please help me how to figure this out? Thanks.

It seems this issue is related to missing \style\visual.less.

Our recommendation is to fork original repo and work with it.

Thanks. I only included the src and json files in there but I matched my less file with the repo and still can't see the chart. Could it be the mismatch of package versions?

I don't think so. Could you please upload the latest code with less file to your GitHub repo?

We'll check it on our end once you upload the latest code.

There are a few issues in the code:

/assets/icon.png does not exist
NPM installs d3@4.9.1 but Sample Bar Chart supports d3@3.5.5
d3.js is not included into a PBIVIZ package (see externalJS property)

Thank you. I installed the related packages and it didn't work so I forked the sources from the repo. But I would like to know where in the documnetation states which version of what package we need to use in order to get everything working?

Since this is a JavaScript project all of dependencies are listed in package.json.

Thank you. I totaly understand. Package.json could be specific to the project as well but what I was asking is wether there is a general guideline that says you mustto use d3 3.5.5 or earlier otherwise the visual will not work. Something to that effect for major depencies but again I apreciate your help.

There's no recommendation to use specific versions of third party packages.

However, some packages have issues in Power BI context but such issues can be workarounded.

If you face any issues please post an issue at Custom Visuals Community.
