embedded report-filters are not being set

I've embedded a report into our application. I want to set filters on the report. But I do not succeed.

The application is an Angular 8 application and the scripting language is Typescript.

These lines are embedding the report and attempting to setfilters on it:

    this.reportContainer = <HTMLElement>document.getElementById('embedContainer');
    const powerbi = new pbi.service.Service(pbi.factories.hpmFactory, pbi.factories.wpmpFactory, pbi.factories.routerFactory);
    powerbi.reset(this.reportContainer);
    const embeddedReport = powerbi.embed(this.reportContainer, this.configuration.getConf()) as Report;

    this.addReportFilters(embeddedReport);
    console.log("filters: ", embeddedReport.getFilters()[0]);

This is the addReportFilters-function itself:

  private addReportFilters(pbiReport: Report): void {

    const urlFilter = new ReportPdfUrlFilterModel(EnvironmentUtils.hostnameStartsWithWWWW(), EnvironmentUtils.isEap());

    pbiReport.setFilters(urlFilter.reportFilters).then(
      function () {
        console.log("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Report filter was set.")
      }
    ).catch(function (errors) {
      console.log("Errors: ", errors );
    });
  }

The "Report filter was set."-logstatement is never logged in the console.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
