Please try to do these steps below. I suppose that they might resolve the issue.

1. pbiviz start
2. Open https://localhost:8080/assets/status in Google Chrome
3. Open the Advanced
4. Click the Proceed to localhost (unsafe)
5. Back to the report with your debug visual
6. Reload visual code

Please let us know if it resolves the issue.

Tried several things and it worked last time... this time again, it worked right after doing this..  So install the cert as trusted root and then do this to make Chrome trust localhost.

Hi Nikita,

Thank you for following up. Your solution worked for me.

I have the same problem - cannot get it to run in any browser - Chrome, Edge, or IE.

https://localhost:8080/assets/status:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

localhost sent an invalid response.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I have tried updating using:

npm install -g powerbi-visuals-tools

C:\Users\gensminger\CustomVisual\d3joy>pbiviz update
info Visual api 1.7.0 updated

C:\Users\gensminger\CustomVisual\d3joy>pbiviz start
info Building visual...
done build complete

info Starting server...
info Server listening on port 8080.

I have restarted all browsers, I have tried deleting browser history and cookies, and I have rebooted my machine.  

Unfortunately still same result.

g4ege Could you please confirm that your firewall doesn't block PBIVIZ server? You might check it by disabling firewall.

Yes, I have disabled the Windows Firewall - for both public and private profile.  Same result.'

I also checked port 8080 with pbiviz start running: '

C:\Users\gensminger>netstat -ano | findstr 8080
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1744
TCP [::]:8080 [::]:0 LISTENING 1744

And then stopped the pbiviz server and no longer showed 8080 LISTENING.

Hi nikitagrachev,

Just a few words to mention that your solution worked in my case.  I had the very same issue as mentioned by fellow members. I had first decided to remove existing certificate and reinsinstall a new one through pbiviz --install-cert

I could then proceed with Certificate installation [windows prompts process...] and managed to create a new one with success.

So far so so good. Then when trying to launch on Google Chrome... Bang same thing... So before trying to recreate SSL certificate indifinitely... I figured this may not be strictly related to a local issue but mainly on Google Chrome side. As some mentioned if it worked on Microsoft Edge browser and not on Google Chrome then there you go...  I know Google Chrome latest versions have also behaved a bit strangely lately... forcing me to reinstall it a couple of times...   Still your option seemed to do the job, thanks for sharing :smileywink:

Happy to hear that issue is resolved.
