Hi all,
I have written a custom connector. Code below. Which I have saved as a MEZ file in User/documents/PowerBI/custom connectors along with another custom connector (which works fine). I have amended the security settings on PBI desktop to allow custom connectors and already have one custom connector active on a different project. Howeve, this connector is nowhere to be found on the 'get Data' list. I can only assume there's something wrong with my code. But I can't figure out what.
Can anyone advise?
Hi,
thank you for the reply. I had already tried all of the above and to no avail. I have another custom connector working fine so I am wondering if it's something wrong with the actual connector?

Hi @SammyG ,
Make sure that custom connectors (.mez files) are saved in the correct location. After saving the connector, restart Power BI Desktop to ensure it recognizes the new file.
For example: User/documents/PowerBI Desktop/custom connectors
To use uncertified custom connectors, you can try opening the following option.
File > Options and settings > Options > Security.
Under Data Extensions, select (Not Recommended) Allow any extension to load without validation or warning.
