Is there a plan for retrieving code from dataflows for the sake of source control?
Hi GilbertQ
Thanks for the tip.
I'm not seeing data flows gen 2 in the list of supported items:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/git-integration/intro-to-git-integration#supported-items
Have you tested with DF gen 2 yet? Does it save the entire PQ script as a one-liner as json, or as a binary PQT file?
I'm really curious about the path forward with this stuff, and I'm hoping Microsoft prioritizes it and delivers something in under a year. The "developer mode" for PBI desktop seems to be dragging on forever. Why does Microsoft always start thinking about source control (& CI/CD) as an afterthought? What kind of software developers find this acceptable? I feel always feel like I'm living in some parallel universe whenever I'm working with these Power BI tools.
I really hope that the git integration is nothing like it was in ADF/Synapse. Those integrations were better than nothing at all, but were very cumbersome compared to the patterns used in modern software development.
