Issue with Python and IDE

[nickazgb]

I have been using powerbi and its python integration to create some custom visuals and it ahas all been working well until recently.

For some reason, now when I try to open the python script in an external IDE (VSCode) using the arrow icon on the python script editor, it opens vscode but instead of opening my script properly it opens four blank files in VScode (named -, PowerBI, Python, and PythonEditorWrapper.PY).

I am not sure why this is happening, as everything used to work fine and it would open the actual script in VSCode without issue.

It is not because powerbi fails to create temporary files in temporary storage, as I can see the proper dataframe and python scripts in the temporary storage data location and when I open thse files directly from the temp storage they open without issue.

Any ideas what could be causing this or how to resolve it?

Well, the issue seemingly resolved itself out of nowhere. This thread can be closed.

Nothing has changed on my end regarding python, powerBI, or VS code. I am using this for work so it is possible something else has been changed by IT in the background, but unless it is with the forementioned 3 items I do not see why any other changes would affect this. If there are any ideas to narrow it down I could further look into it but I have no idea where to start.

What has changed in your setup?  Did you upgrade Power BI Desktop? Did you upgrade Python? Did you upgrade VS Code?
