PBIP Git Integration Errors

Hi all,

 

Excited about the new git integration but I am unable to get it to work. I tried to sync a PBIP to a workspace from devops repo and I keep getting vague errors.

 

First I tried with one of my production reports and got the following:

Workload Error Code Git_InvalidResponseFromWorkload

 

I figured it might be an issue with support for a custom visual, calculation groups, etc. So, I tried with a completely blank Power BI file and got the following:

Workload Error Code CopyOverwriteUsageException

 

Maybe just is how it is given its a preview feature, but hoping I am just doing something dumb and one of you can correct me.

Need Help

    I did some more experimenting, and I came to the following conclusions:

    1. Sync from git to workspace does not work with an empty PBIP (meaning no tables and measures in the data model and no report objects). After adding a manual entry table to the PBIP and the git sync worked. I suppose this is fine, but a better error message should be added.

    2. I added a table from a snowflake data warehouse connection and added some measures (and used them in report objects), and it continued to sync successfully. No issue there.

    3. I added a simple measure group with tabular editor and used them in some report objects. The sync was still successful. So measure groups appear to be supported.

    4. I added a table based on query from a snowflake data warehouse and manually manipulated the extended properties to make it a field parameter table (which is a common use case for me). This caused the sync to fail. So either field parameters are not supported or my odd use case isn't.

      Field parameters are supported.
      Did you add the extended properties by yourself using Tabular Editor or using Power BI Desktop? Can you share a bim file?

        Yes, I added the external properties myself with tabular editor. My use case involves using the same PBIX for many environments so I have the need to dynamically populate my field paramters. I achieve this by importing a SQL table that mimics the structure of a field parameter table with the extended properties added to the imported table. BIM file attached.

         

        Not sure if I can attach files here so here is a link to a public repo with the model.bim: dlomartra1/powerbi-git-example (github.com)

    I get the same error, but only when trying to add a bit more complex model via git. When adding a simple model with a table and report it works fine.

    Hi,

    Getting the same error when adding a new pbip project file from Git repository (app.powerbi.com & pbip project & git integration), dataset is based on Azure SQL queries / tables.

    Any solution ?

      There is a bug when using PBIP with private custom visuals (pbiviz files). It shall be fixed until end of August.
