Hi @luojiandanPBI,

I've cloned your repo, run npm i, then pbiviz start and it all looks fine to me:

Sometimes the developer visual can fail to initialize the first time it is displayed on a page. You can work around this by resizing the visual to trigger an update from the visual host. I'm not sure why it happens, but have you tried doing this?

If this happens for you, subsequent reloads with the current visual instance will work as normal, although you may need to repeat the process when you navigate to a new page and back again (causing the developer visual to be completely reloaded). This won't happen for your visual when you paclage it either; it just seems to be for the developer visual.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi,Daniel,I did resize visual,and get nothing.

if fine to you,maybe my environment for developing has troube.

Node.js version: v14.15.0

powerbi-visuals-tools version: v3.1.9

what's version for you?and what's your opinion?

I'm on node v18.17.1, and I'm using tools v4.3.2 for testing your repo, as that's what I have installed globally. Note that tools currently recommends Node v18+, so that could possibly be an issue.

The process is normally pretty straightforward and I would expect you to have some success, based on what I'm seeing, so it does suggest an environmental issue, but here are a couple of other things you could check for information:

• Are there any console errors when the constructor is fired?
• If no errors, are you getting the console.log() statement executing correctly?
• If the constructor's console.log() is firing, does adding data to the visual trigger the update method? If so, do you get any output (or console errors there)?

If you have any console erros ,please post them and I can have a think about what the issue could be.

If you're not getting anything from the above, I'd suggest getting in touch with support to see if they have anything that they can recommend: pbicvsupport@microsoft.com.

Hopefully some of this is useful for you, and I hope that you can continue with your work.

Good luck,

Daniel
