Power Deployment Pipeline not recognize Azure DevOps pull requests

[Johonnatan]

Hi team

I'm testing Power BI deployment pipeline integrated Git and that works fine. However, if I do create a pull request in Azure DevOps the PBI deployment service does not recognize previous changes. It's pretty much the same, but instead of use Deploy button I did push all changes via Azure PR. It there anything that may I do to fix that?

In this case, is it mandatory set up YAML file? If so, is there any tool for support me on that? I'm not familiar with Azure Devops pipelines.

At the beginning, I thought that would be just add Git info in workspace settings and done, not Azure orchestrating branches via YAML.

Should not PBI manage this part via native source control?

Hi @Johonnatan ,

Based on the information you describe, it seems that the issue may be related to the way the deployment pipeline is configured to recognize changes or the way pull requests are handled in Azure DevOps.

Please see the following documentation for more information on configuring branch policies.

One more info. I realized that logicalId in '.platform' file changed when I did push the changes via DevOps, but keeps the same via Deploy button (native PBI pipeline).
