Yes I have had no issue publishing it manually. I am working with the project from github 

https://github.com/criticalpathtraining/pbixinstallerforpowerbi

I am able to see all my workspaces contents but having an issue with the import.

 

My company receintly decided to give access to users to manage and change reports but do not want them publishing so we are trying to set up an automated process that will publish and archive the file so that we have a history or receint changes.
