Custom Data Connector / How to troubleshoot Testconnection Handler
I'm having related difficulties too; sorry, no answer, but a few resources that might be useful
The most useful (to me) was: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlinggatewaysupport, which covers parameters, which is perhaps a common problem with TestConnector; it is necessary that your TestConnector is called with the right parameters, otherwise it will fail
This is also useful: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/samples/trippin/9-testconnection/readme; as it says, unfortunately, there is no way to test TestConnection except in the On-premises Data Gateway, which makes it hard to track down problems
I'll come back if I myself make useful progress
Ultimately I troubleshooted my problem reviewing my code. But as a generic need, I still think it would be a good idea to implement some logging on the gateway. That would be very helpful
Hi sylbae-a , I'm encountering the same issue. Could you please share how you solved this? My custom connector works fine in desktop but I cant get it to work through the gateway. I am able to enter credentials (Oauth2) but after the oauth flow the data source sign in window stays opened, nothing happens. I think it is caused by the testconnection configuration but I'm not able to find the exact cause.
