Hi. Open the git folder and look for one of those files. If you have turned on the TMDL you will find definition, if not then model.bim should be there. You can look for that to the folder Name.SemanticModel or Name.Dataset.

If you can't find it in the git repo, then it might have been removed or not synced. You can check the version history of the folder to validate if it was deleted and recover.

I hope that helps,

Can you help me how I can see version history of folder. 

[ibarrau]

It would be very weird if you check your repo and one of those files is missing.

You can use foldername or 'foldername/*'.

git log -- path/to/folder
git log -- 'path/to/folder/*'

History of renamed files will not be followed with this method.

Please note that -- is optional as well. From git help log:

[--] <path>...

           Show only commits that are enough to explain how the files that match the specified paths came to be. See History Simplification below for
           details and other simplification modes.

           Paths may need to be prefixed with -- to separate them from options or the 

 I hope that helps,

How can I bring it back to non TMDL? Even if I disable TMDL view in Power BI desktop and save it's still taking the same in semantic model. I want to keep the non TMDL semantic model

[ibarrau]

Why do you want to avoid TMDL? This error looking for file is because the GIT integration uses power bi as projects with or without TMDL it will decompress the pbix in files and you could miss one. TMDL is way more intuitive for the users.

Any way, for keeping your model with TMSL (the old way), the only alternative is finding the original pbix file you had at first. Open that one and save it as project with the TMDL preview setting disabled.

I hope that make sense
