Deployment Pipeline Error
Hi RonaldBalza-943,

Thank you.
Hey RonaldBalza-943 ,
Based on the error message, it looks like the deployment from development to test is failing because some related items most likely your Fabric Warehouse or the related semantic model dependencies are not included in the deployment or don’t exist yet in the test workspace. Since the deployment from test to production works fine, it's likely that all dependencies already exist in production, but not in test. You need to chek:
Confirm if the Fabric Warehouse used by the semantic model exists in the test workspace.
If it doesn’t exists add the warehouse manually to the test workspace, or Include it as part of the deployment pipeline step.
If you're referencing shared datasets or parameters, make sure they’re available or deployed to test as well.

I don't believe this is an issue. I cleared all the workspaces and published both the semantic model and report to the Dev and Test workspaces (leaving Prod empty). Now, when I try to deploy from Dev to Test, the error persists. However, deploying from Test to Prod works perfectly.
Hey RonaldBalza-943 ,
I think it could be related to workspace binding or hidden references inside the semantic model that still point to the Dev warehouse or its specific dataset ID, which might not match the one in Test.
Few things I suggest:
1. Check dataset binding inside the semantic model: Even if the warehouse is published in both workspaces, the semantic model in Dev might still be hard-bound to the Dev warehouse's internal ID. When deploying, Fabric may be unable to resolve that binding in Test.
Open the semantic model in Power BI Desktop or XMLA endpoint.
Look at the data source bindings and confirm they are parameterized or match the Test warehouse.
2. Check for parameters or dynamic data source settings: If your model uses parameters (like workspace name, environment, or server URI), make sure:
The parameter values are set appropriately in each environment.
Any referenced data source names match exactly between Dev and Test.
3. Try deploying with 'Include related items' enabled: On the deployment pipeline step:
Click on “Include related items”.
This ensures that any linked data source or dataset will be part of the deployment.
4. Review technical details from the error: From your screenshot, the deployment is blocked right at the semantic model (Contract To Billing Dataset). Click “Learn more” in the error pop-up it often highlights the exact dependency or missing reference. If that shows something specific, feel free to share and I’ll help dig deeper.
