Microsoft.PowerBI.API not working anymore (!?) - it just hangs.

[proka]

Hi,

I haven't modified my code in months, and yet, since a few days ago, the reports stopped working 😞

I don't even get a timeout, it just hangs.

It hapens when I am tring to render a report (GetReportInGroup) or when I try to get the reports list (PowerBIClient.Reports.GetReportsInGroup)

There's no error message, nothing, it just hangs.

I've "Fixed it"

From the NuGet Packages, I've downgraded Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime from 2.3.13 to 2.3.12 and now it works perfectly.

Anyone from Microsoft to handle/explain this?

Great to have it fixed. I checked we use Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime 2.0.1.

I came across at similar behaviour for another call CloneReportInGroupAsync. It hangs and nothing happened. ut once I checked HTTP call with PostMan it returned some 4XX (don't remember exactly) error. Then I changed a bit parameters and it start working. So, possible, but I'm not sure, its bug with processing status codes in SDK. 

Also I used Async version of methods.

What do you mean by "I changed a bit parameters"?

In my case I didn't pass optional arguments, but once I set up it explicitly it start working. In you code you pass only workspace id (group id), so just check is it valid.
