This may be a simple/dumb question, but I'm trying to get a list of Workspaces using PowerShell, and I'm getting an error "Attempted to access an element as a type incompatible with the array"
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Victor, would you be so kind to head over to the githup repo of the cmdlets and file this as an issue under: https://github.com/Microsoft/powerbi-powershell/issues? I've seen this error before but it went away after I updated .NET and Powershell. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kay
Thanks Kay.
I have PSVersion 5.1 and .NET Framework 4.7. Do you have something different?
It looks like the issue was being caused by a Newtonsoft.Json conflict.
"The issue is likely due to a mismatch in Newtonsoft.Json between the Power BI cmdlets and some other cmdlets loaded into PowerShell session (via profile or calling directly)"
More info here: https://github.com/Microsoft/powerbi-powershell/issues/60
Current workaround is to use Powershell Core
I was battling this error as well. However, I was able to get by it by using a user that is a Global Administrator. I would suggest double checking that as well.
it's a bit of a necro-thread reply, however i was able to work out what was going on...
Essentially it seems that Powershell only loads one version of each DLL (per session), no matter how many modules you are referencing it from. This of course makes perfect sense - UNTIL you first reference a module which uses an "old" version of newtonsoft.json.dll (I did a search, and had >50 newtonsoft.json.dll files on my PC with many different versions).
So the trick is, at the start of a Powershell session make sure you load a module which references a new enough version of the newtonsoft DLL
this did the trick for me.
if (Get-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt -ListAvailable)
{
Import-Module MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue #workaround
}
