Power BI with Git. Is Visual Studio code mandatory?
It seems like you have a private custom visual (FlowVisual_C29F1DCC_81F5_4973_94AD_0517D44CC06) being referenced in report.json that no longer exists.
Please check if your report is referencing any custom visual and that the custom visual exists in \CustomVisuals\...
The only custom visual in our project is Drill Down TimeSeries PRO by ZoomCharts.
Opening the project in Power BI Desktop does give a message "This report contains a custom visual that needs to be saved. Planning to work offline? Save it first, while you're online." It doesn't provide any instructions on what it means. Saving the pbip file does nothing. The ... menu on the visuals don't provide any obvious action.
I've tried adding the visual to the project again, its detected that there is an updated version, which i've allowed it to update. This has had no effect and the error still comes up:
"Workload Error Message The following file was not found: 'FlowVisual_C29F1DCC_81F5_4973_94AD_0517D44CC06A/resources/FlowVisual_C29F1DCC_81F5_4973_94AD_0517D44CC06A'

My guess is i need to understand what this saving of the visual offline means. Power BI isn't being helpful here.
Sorry that you are having a bad experience, but looks like the report.json got into a faulty situation or there is a bug with the PBIP format and custom visuals.
Can you please share with me a version of the FlowVisual custom visual .pbiviz file? Or a version of your PBIX/PBIP?
Happy to provide the PBIP. Usually when i'm dealing with Microsoft support i get emailed an upload link. [email protected] is my address if you can shoot me the link, i'll upload the file.
