Workspace with Git Integration Errors - Trying to sync thin report into the workspace.

[dendenharmet]

A little background: I am developing Power BI thin report by separating datasets and reports. I am able to commit and push both the dataset and report layer into the Azure DevOps git repo.

Now, I was able to sync the dataset folder in the same repo into the workspace. But for the report, I am getting a "Something went wrong" error without any context of the issue.

Is it because it's a thin report without an underlying dataset but connected live to another dataset published (synced) already in the workspace?

You should have a file named definition.pbir in the report's folder.

definition.pbir has a dataset reference, please make sure that it refer to an existing dataset that you have access to.

It should be either a path of existing dataset folder in git, or, a valid connection string to a dataset in the portal.

I checked the git folder, and I found the definition.pbir with the connection details of the live dataset published in the Power BI workspace.

Please make sure you have access to the model in the workspace. Try to navigate to that workspace, and check if you can open the dataset with the same name. You should have Explore permissions on the dataset, to check that, you can try to right-click on the dataset and select "create report".

I do have permission since I'm also the developer of the dataset. I'm able to create the report connecting live. Basically a thin report. Then this thin report, I tried saving it again as pbip file, did commit and push but I still get the same error "Something went wrong".

I checked the definition.pbir and it matches the datasetID that I can connect. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the thin report.

I do not see your connection string, maybe the FolderDisplayName is the connection string is url-encoded?

Can you decode the value and use the decoded value?

For example, instead of using %5BContext%5D%20ABC, try using [Context] ABC.

THANK YOU! It works! I copied the proper name of the workspace (without the special characters) then I am able to sync without any issues!

[alihm]

Can you give the request Id and the activity Id from the error dialog?
