Hi,
I am modifying a custom visual and using the developer tools for debugging and testing in PowerBI.com. I am running the server in my computer (pbiviz start) and the visual compiled without problem. However, when I try using the developer tools in PowerBI.com, I get the following error:
I have packaged the custom visual, imported it and used it in Power BI Desktop without problem, so I do not think it is a bug in the code. Also, I have successfully run the server and used the developer tools in PowerBI.com before, so I do not think it is a problem with my setup. Does anyone has any suggestions or can help?
Thanks a lot.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just a quick update. It seems to be a problem with the certificate. I opened another tab in the browser (replicated in Chrome and Firefox) and navigated to the URL: https://localhost:8080/assets/status. Added a security exception for the certificate and it works again.
If you have any issues with the Power BI command line tools, please visit PowerBI-visuals-tools issue page.
