Hi everyone,

I don't have d3 libs installed in my package.json :

{

  "name": "powerbi_forgeviewer_visual",

  "dependencies": {

    "jquery": "^3.5.1",

    "powerbi-visuals-utils-dataviewutils": "1.2.0"

  },

  "devDependencies": {

    "@types/forge-viewer": "^7.31.0",

    "@types/jquery": "^3.5.1",

    "@types/node": "12.0.0"

  }

}

Neither reference to any d3 libs in all my project.

Do you have any clue about those errors ?

Thanks, JB.

HI @JB_guide,

AS the document said, the d3 library seems required in custom visual design. If you do not include any d3 libraries, have you enabled the d3 javascript library in your project?

Hello,

Hi! i am having the same error. I am also using the same project.

Where did you find the wrong installed d3 libraries?

[JB_guide]

Hi, in the error message you can find where it is installed : C:/Users/jean-baptiste.guide/node_modules/@types/d3-dsv/index.d.ts for me.

You know where to delete librairies directly when you have the path.
Nice idea to tag me @Anonymous, I didn't have a notification with the message of @gmmanfredi.

HI @JB_guide,

According to your discretion, it seems related to d3 library initialization. I'm glad to hear you find the reason and fix it. I think they should help others who faced similar issues.
