Hi All,
I am trying to create a custom visual and i am following the below link.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/custom-visual-develop-tutorial
i did everything step by step but when i open the visual studio code i cannot see the files under the node
Solved! Go to Solution.
MS updated Power Bi tools but the tutorial remains for the older version.
I asked the same question yesterday. Here is some useful hint:
Thanks optimusprime will try this and update here.
Alternatively to that, you can run the old tutorial as-is by specifying the older version of the visuals tools.
In this section of the doc, you're asked to run this command:
npm i -g powerbi-visuals-tools
Run this instead:
npm i -g powerbi-visuals-tools@2.5
You can then proceed as normal.
Proud to be a Super User!
