    How does the definiton.pbir of your report look like?

    {
  "version": "1.0",
  "datasetReference": {
    "byPath": {
      "path": "../DatasetName.Dataset"
    },
    "byConnection": null
  }
}

    like this it should work if your dataset is in the same repo.

    If it is not: Check for spaces in the byConnection url in the defintion.pbir. The service does not like those and replaces them wiith %20. So you need to URL encode your connection strings in the thin reports.

    I hope this helps!
