problem tooltip

Hi !

 

I'm trying to create a custom visual and i'm trying to put a tooltip in it. 

But I have a problem when I do the :

this.tooltipServiceWrapper = createTooltipServiceWrapper(this.host.tooltipService, options.element);

In the constructor of my class Visual implements IVisual, I have an error in the console and my visual crash, my error is :

Uncaught ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined

And when I comment the line where I have a problem it works good.

 

I don't know how to solved it, someone can help me ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Anonymous,

Run the following for your plugin's root folder:

 

npm i regenerator-runtime --save-dev

 

And then add the following at the top of your visual.ts, underneath import 'core-js/stable'; and before import '../style/visual.less';, e.g.:

 

...
import 'core-js/stable';
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime'; /* Right here */
import '../style/visual.less';
...

 

If you re-run pbiviz start and re-check your visual, this error will go away as the necessary runtime is included in your build. Then, in the true spirit of coding it's onto the next error (but hopefully not) 🙂

Good luck!

Daniel
