How is fast iteration coding done with a PBI Custom Visual?
Say you have developed a custom visual, how can you make an update and see the results quickly? The approach below seems too slow for practical rapid interation and development. The only way ...
Hi Sam (v-chuncz-msft),
Can you please clarify which one of these is implied by your response?
- The steps in my original post are currently the only way to iterate through code change cycles for custom visuals.
- You don't actually know one way or another, but wanted to post a token reply to boost your stats.
I don't mean to be cynical, but to be frank (1) seems hard to believe. Consider that in everyday web development, when a code change is merely typed, the change can be automatically saved, compiled, and refreshed for display within a few seconds.
Thank you -
I'm not one of the developers. I mean the way I know to update an exising custom visual is to run command pbiviz package by using the PowerBI command line tools (recommended). For custom visuals that are not developed by new tools, you may try to rename the .pbiviz file to a .zip file, and change .css and .js file accordingly.
- So I take it your answer is choice #2.
What I don't understand is, if you aren't a developer, why post replies to a developer question on a developer forum?
It may boost your stats to fire off a generic post saying, hey, why don't you make a feature suggestion?
However for everyone else it just wastes time and has no benefit.
If you recall, no one asked for a new feature.
