Is the new deployment pipeline (preview) gone?

[viraj_arsekar]

I started using the new deployment pipeline (which said in preview) and was getting used to it. Didn't like it much initially but then liked it better than the existing one.

There was a button to toggle between old and new deployment pipelines. I had set mine to new.

It was there until yesterday and now I'm switched back to the old one and the toggle is gone. I'm wondering if my organization changed something or Microsoft took the new one away, it was in preview anyways.

The screenshots in the documentation has the new one (last updated 01-Sep-2024).

Get started using deployment pipelines, the Fabric Application lifecycle management (ALM) tool - Mic...

Edit: oh no, looks like along with it the option to compare the code is also gone. I saw that option recently, it showed the json code side by side like beyond compare. I had tried to toggle to the old version and that compare option was there in the old one too, where it showed the code. Now it only shows the compare button to show green check or orange cross.

Edit2: I can see the Review changes option in the old pipeline as well. Maybe there were no changes when I checked earlier. The document says,
"If there's nothing to compare, the button is disabled. If there are changes to the schema, you can select the button to see a detailed, line by line comparison of the two items."

@blopez11 could you share a screenshot showing it?

[blopez11]

My latest post on this thread indicates that the option no longer appears, so I can't provide a screenshot anymore.

Saw another post where the link for New deployment pipelines user interface is provided.

Hi @viraj_arsekar ,

This appears to be due to PowerBI temporarily turning this feature off, and I recommend you create your ticket to the Technical Support Team for a more detailed response.

edit: I see the option for comparing code in the old one now, it doesn't show that if there is no difference.

Hm, same issue in our company. Seems MS pulled the new deployment pipeline. It's a pity, i liked the filtering options. Hope it will return soon.

I also was using the new one, and today it was suddenly gone. I am wondering if it is permanently gone and I should get comfy with the old one, or if there will be a new new one soon that I anyways will have to get familiar with...

[viraj_arsekar]

If it happened with you as well then it's confirmed that my organization didn't make changes, unless we work for the same company. But someone once told me, use the preview features and check them out, but although it might not happen too often, the preview features could be taken away. Unless the the features don't get out of preview, it's not guaranteed that they'll be b permanent.

This is gone for us as well. 

In the old view I use bookmarklets to manage large workspaces

To use just create bookmarks that have the below code instead of a link to a new page.

These just chagne whats visible, but they make it easier to manage large workspaces with 100 of items.

Will filter to only changed items

javascript:(function() {  document.querySelectorAll('mat-list-item').forEach(function(item) {    var diffInfoSpan = item.querySelector('#diffInfo');    if (!diffInfoSpan || !diffInfoSpan.querySelector('.diff-label')) {      item.style.display = 'none';    }  });})();

Text String Filter

javascript:(function() {   var searchText = prompt("Enter text to search for:");   if (searchText !== null) {     document.querySelectorAll('mat-list-item').forEach(function(item) {       var aTag = item.querySelector('.left-part a[title]');       if (!aTag || !(aTag.title.includes(searchText) || aTag.innerText.includes(searchText))) {         item.style.display = 'none';       }     });   } })();

Toggle include folders in name string

javascript:(function() {   document.querySelectorAll('.left-part a[title]').forEach(function(aTag) {     var title = aTag.title;     var innerText = aTag.innerText;     aTag.title = innerText;     aTag.innerText = title;   }); })();

Clear all Filters

javascript:(function() {   document.querySelectorAll('mat-list-item').forEach(function(item) {     if (item.style.display === 'none') {       item.style.display = '';     }   }); })();

We have temporarily disabled the new UI due to a bug that prevents deployment from being completed. Our team is prioritizing the fix, and I will provide an update once the UI is back online (probably in the next 2 weeks).

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

[Danalber]

Hi @LeeBenjamin , any update on the new deployment pipeline? Seems it is still disabled.

Thx. BR

[LeeBenjamin]

Hi @Danalber, thank for asking. Per some technical issues there is a delay in deploying the fix to all Microsoft production environments. ETA for the fix to be in all environments is mid-January. I apologize for the inconvenience.

[Danalber]

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply, much appreciated.

Pity with the delay but good to know it will return early next year. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hit no more bumps. 🙂

Merry Christmas to all. 🎅

[viraj_arsekar]

Awesome. Thanks for letting us know. It would have been nice if the toggle remained but the switch disabled and something like hovering on it showed this note.  Really appreciate you providing the update here.

[LeeBenjamin]

Good point, noted. Thanks!

The toggle has disappeared for me as well, it was there yesterday.  I was using the new view, but recently reverted back to the old view because I couldn't find something in the new view.  But for the life of me, can't remember what it was.  Maybe it was the deployment history...

[blopez11]

I am on the old version, but I still have the toggle for the New deployment pipelines.  Interesting, I'll keep an eye if mine disappears.
