Deployment Pipeline Fails with PBIR reports?

[PowerUser135]

I've been using Power BI projects (pbip) with Git while also publishing to Power BI deployment pipelines.

I recently have been getting prompted to convert to PBIR. 

I have a report that I converted to PBIR that is connected to a dataset in the dev Power BI deplomyent pipeline. When I try to deploy this version to test I keep getting a failure.

I tried with a different report that I didn't convert to PBIR that is live connected to the same dev dataset and it deployed successfully. 

Any ideas on what the issue may be with PBIR?

This is unfortunate.  I hope Microsoft will fix this soon.  Git and deployment pipelines are both best practice in software development, so it is surprising that it doesn't work.  On the positive side, this means we don't have to pay for Power BI Premium, since deployment pipelines are the only reason I would buy Premium.

We are facing similar issue. Do we have any work arround for this ? We want to continue using pbir and be able to deploy.
Please suggest if good solutions to this problem.

Hi @PowerUser135 ,
As this document states PBIR is currently in a preview state and cannot be deployed using the deployment pipeline. You can use your previously successful PBIP to deploy it.
