I'm attempting to create a custom visual that downloads r scripts on-the-fly, but am running into a challenge with getting it to work in the Power BI Service.
I've created a custom visual based off the RHTML template that is supposed to plot a graph, but I wanted to solve for a solution where our analysts can maintain & tweak their models without having to recompile the Power BI visual. On the desktop, this seems to work wonderfully when I add have the following code in my script.r file and modelpath is a string parameter that is the URL to my file.
#Import web file if path is defined
if(modelpath != ""){
source(modelpath)
}I'm able to post an r script to github and Power BI Desktop (along with R) are able to download and import the file from github. When I attempt to use this same visual with the online Power BI service, I get the following error:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
InternetOpenUrl failed: 'The server name or address could not be resolved'
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
