There are some other fix to do?

 

Thanks

I think you need to add a d3 injector is file like described here. http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Setting-up-D3-V4-with-Custom-Visuals-and-Types/td-p/330101

The d3 injector is required for d3 v4.x.x and v5.x.x but Line Dot Chart uses d3 v3.

 

We'd reccomend to follow steps described above to fix the issues.

Please follow these steps below to build Linedot Chart locally:

  1. git clone git@github.com:Microsoft/powerbi-visuals-linedotchart.git
  2. cd powerbi-visuals-linedotchart
  3. npm i
  4. npm start (starts development server)
  5. npm run package (builds a pbiviz package)

We use npm commands instead of global pbiviz since it allows to use the local version of pbiviz instead of global one.
