Custom Connector JavaScript Error - SOLVED

Hello everyone, 

 

I built a custom connector for my API. My API is built using OData and is secured with OAuth  2.0. When I run my connector and enter an Access Token (or any value for that matter) I get this JavaScript error. Has anyone else encountered this? Or know a good fix for it? I tried using the connector in Power BI. The same thing happens. The connector was built using Visual Studio 2019. I tried using Power Query for VS Code, but I ran into so many bugs I just could not get it to work.

If anyone is running into issues with the custom connector I found a work around. You do not need to make a custom connector. 

 

In transform data select blank query as the data source and open the advanced editor. Need to add method to refresh token dynamically but this is a good starting point.
