Updating an empty workspace from existing git from another workspace fails

Afterwards, the workspace remains in state "Partially synced". Why is this error happening? How can I resolve it?

Hi Anonymous,

The error "Git invalid response from workload" you're encountering when updating an empty workspace from an existing Git repository in Power BI Service points to a potential issue with the synchronization process. Here are some reasons why this might be happening:

  1. Git Integration Issues: There might be a temporary glitch with the Git integration within Power BI Service.

  2. Authorization Issues: The empty workspace might not have the necessary permissions to access the Git repository.

  3. Corrupted Git Metadata: The existing Git repository might have corrupted metadata causing Power BI Service to struggle with syncing.

  4. Large Repository Size: If the Git repository is very large, the initial sync process might be taking longer than expected.





    If you find this insightful, please provide a Kudo and accept this as a solution.

    Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it!

    1. Git Integration Issues: There might be a temporary glitch with the Git integration within Power BI Service.

      • If that is the case, I suppose I have no way to know for sure, nor do I have any means to address that problem from my side - right?

    2. Authorization Issues: The empty workspace might not have the necessary permissions to access the Git repository.

      • I doubt that could be a possible error source; most of the other sources stored in the git repository were created successfully (PBI reports, semantic models, warehouses, lakehouses, notebooks)

    3. Corrupted Git Metadata: The existing Git repository might have corrupted metadata causing Power BI Service to struggle with syncing.

      • Well, I can assure that I did not mess or manipulate any of the stored sources in the git repository, other than using the built-in interactions from Microsoft Fabric itself, to first, store the contents in the git repository, and now, second access them to populate the new workspace; so if there is some corrupted git metadata, the origin for that would be somewhere to find within Microsoft Fabric itself

    4. Large Repository Size: If the Git repository is very large, the initial sync process might be taking longer than expected.

      • Hmm, in that case I would hope for a much better error message; second the repository is not very large (about 20 different items in total); and third, the issue is not the time it took to initially sync the repository but that it (partially) failed to do so
