Web URL connection appearing twice

I have added a url connection to my model and it has appeared in the list of connections twice

If I map it in the top box it clears the bottom box and vice-versa

 

I also get the message at the top of the settings page saying:

"Please make sure your data gateway (personal mode) is installed and configured properly."

 

The gateway is not in personal mode (don't know why its wanting a gateway for a URL)

 

Anybody have any suggestions?

OK. Overnight the error changed, not sure what changed but we have a different error now

Error now says "We timed out waiting for javascript to retrieve the contents of the web page."

 

Ok. Now it looks like the error is about getting the data from the web. Are you scrapping the web? the code behind it is taking too long and there might be a timeout for the function you are using. For example, if you are using web.browsercontent, you can read there are parameters to help you wait longer
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/web-browsercontents

Check how long it takes from power bi desktop. If it takes too long there might be a problem, if it's fast you can just change the parameter of the function. Read the examples of the link to know better the power query code.

I hope that helps

Hi. My guess would be the UI has change and it now let's you pick how you want to handle the cloud source. Traditionally the way to build a semantic model that has onpremise and cloud sources would be activating this checkbox at the Gateway settings:

When that check wasn't turned on the only way to refresh a cloud source was using the gateway. However when the check was there, you could not configure anything on the gateway section and just go to "Data Source Credentials" section at the same page and edit credentials of the cloud source. 
If you want the cloud to keep in cloud. I would check that box and just edit credentials. Forget about the source showing there on the gateway.

I hope that helps,
