Deployment Pipelines Stuck Loading For Days

[Anonymous]

Hey Everyone,

I started experiencing this issue on Friday so I'm a little fuzzy on exactly the preconditions before the issue but I'll do my best. I was working on a dataflow in my dev workspace, I tried to deploy it to test and after awhile got back an error message that was along the lines of 'unexpected error'. I refreshed the page to try again but now all three of my workspaces are stuck on loading as shown in the screenshot. I've confirmed that my coworkers see this issue as well, and it isn't caused by my internet or vpn connection. I can still go to and publish to the three workspaces but I can't edit deployment rules or use the 'compare' feature, etc. So essentially until I can get this back up any work has to be done in triplicate.

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated, or even if someone else has seen this too that would be good to know. Microsoft support said they haven't seen this and told me it should time out in about 10 hours, that was not the case..

P.S. Has someone already made the suggestion they should add 'Data Flows' and 'Deployment Pipelines' as possible labels for this Issue space? I've tagged this as Reports and Data Modeling since that seemed closest

Hi @Anonymous 

You mean you have opened a support ticket in Power BI support website for this issue, right? And now, you still see the issue that pipelines keep loading but not successful?

Yes I have an open support ticket with them right now. On Friday of last week, they had me take some logs of the network traffic and send it over to them. From looking at the browser DevTools' network tab it looks like there is one POST to /powerbi/refresh/subscribe that keeps getting canceled and starting again. I have another meeting with them today, we'll see how that goes.

I guess my hope with posting here as well is to see if maybe someone in the community has seen this issue, or if someone else ends up experiencing the same thing they can know it's been brought up before. I've been searching online and haven't been able to find anyone else with this exact problem.

UPDATE:

Yesterday I was able to deploy things between the workspaces using Powershell as described here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/deployment-pipelines-automation

However I noticed that for the couple of times I tried, I ended up getting these weird 'blank' name copies of my Dataflow as shown here:

I deleted these this morning and went to refresh the tab that had my pipeline opened and it finally loaded but showed this error:

Not quite sure what caused it to finally break out of that loop...
