Cannot read property 'MobilePortrait' of undefined

Im trying to embed a report for mobile and using the new property 

settings: {
            layoutType: models.LayoutType.MobilePortrait
        }

found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Embed-For-Mobile

 

However, the report (which once loaded just fine) now kicks off an error:

Cannot read property 'MobilePortrait' of undefined.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

I first built my site to host my embedded dashboards in September of 2017. When I built the page that hosts the embedded reports themselves I cloned the PowerBi report library from GitHub and placed it the sites static file directory. To fix my problem, I cloned the most recent version of the Power Bi library and replaced the existing static files. I reloaded my static files and refreshed my server and everything works now.

Have you tried to update the Mobile layout setting by updateSettings function?

 

Regards,

Michael

Yes, I just did tonight and still the same error:

 Cannot read property 'MobilePortrait' of undefined

 

 

Code:

const newSettings = {
layoutType: models.LayoutType.MobilePortrait,
pageView: "oneColumn"

};
dashboard.updateSettings(newSettings);

 

 

 

 

 

I'm getting the same error

 

Edit: I was able to fix my error by updating the Power Bi static files in my repo

Hey Adam,

 

Can you illustrate what steps you took to do this? I am very interested and im sure others are as well! 

 

Thank you! Glad you got it to work on your side!

Pro tip: when replacing the powerbi.js file be sure to wipe your cache.
