Bookmark export functionality in REACT pbi report

Keesh — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 00:29:59 GMT

Hi,

I have implemented a pbi report using the react implementation similar to this demo .

I am trying to implement export functionality via the bookmark method similar to the JS bookmark method here .

Unfortunately trying to capture the report state via:

report.booksmarksManager.capture()
produces this error:

powerbi.js:1256 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined

This seems to be attributed to the values in bookmarksManager.config being undefined and never getting populated and this appears to also be the case in react demo.

Is there a way to populate the values in bookmarksManager.config and export reports using this method in a react implementation?

Thanks,

Keesh

@Keesh

Did you ever figure out the solution for this? I am getting the same error when calling "apply(...)".

I got something working but it's hacky:

 report.on('rendered', async () => {
  report.bookmarksManager.config = report.config; // this stops the errors for now
  const bookmarks = await report.bookmarksManager.getBookmarks();

Really frustrating though. Looks like there's a bug in the js package.

getBookmarks calls isRDLEmbed which expects this.config.embedUrl to be defined, but it's only defined on the report, not the bookmarksManager.

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/blame/master/src/bookmarksManager.ts#L62

Also the official docs about loading a bookmark by name using static config doesn't seem to work either:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/configure-report-settings#on-load-bookmark

Tried downgrading to 2.14.1 as suggested here
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Power-BI-Bookmark-for-Embedded-report-Capture-api-not-working/m-p/1543270/highlight/true#M115693

But the only thing that worked for me was setting bookmarksManager.config

Edit:

Looks like there's already a pr that'd stop the error. Not sure it'd fix the whole problem though, since the bookmarkManager still wouldn't have config defined.
