I have added everything from
https://github.com/microsoft/Powerbi-Visuals-SampleMatrix
to my VS Code and continue to get this error message when executing pbiviz start:
info Building visual...
error LESS style/visual.less : The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received undefined
I have also made the the following npm installs with no success:
powerbi-visuals-tools@2.5.0
node@12.13.1
npm@6.12.1
typescript@2.3.3
Any suggestions?
Hi, I am facing the same problem! Does anyone have some news about this problem?
By the way, this is all of my code for the .less file:
p {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
em {
background: 'yellow';
padding: 5px;
}
}
and this is the error:
error LESS style/visual.less : The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received undefined
