Help With Developer Tools
I followed the tutorial here, but when I get to the point of
- Select the Developer Visual in the Visualizations pane
I get an error that pops up inside the visual:
Can't contact visual server
Please make sure the visual server is running and configured correctly.
At the bottom of this tutorial it says to:
- Begin developing your visual (make sure pbiviz start is running)
But if I open a command prompt and type pbiviz start I get a big error of
error LOAD ERROR Error: pbiviz.json not found. You must be in the root of a visual project to run this command
What do I need to setpu/change in order to create my own?
I think I see what is going on.
there are currently 2 experiences.
1 is being deprecated and is PURELY a web thing. If you go up to Settings | Dev Tools, you directly get to a code editing window, and "that's it". (great experience for low barrier to entry).
The other requires a bunch of locally installed bits, start here: https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-visuals-docs
