Without `pbiviz start` the server does not start and no dev can take place.

 

I realized I had an issue with certificate which needed to be fixed first. Once I resolved that and performed a clean installiation of packages everything fell in line.

I've never seen this before. If you're running from the root folder of your project and you have a pbiviz.json in that folder, then it should be OK?

I have noticed that v3.2.0 of powerbi-visuals-webpack-plugin has a breaking change against pbiviz.json, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as I haven't had a need to use it (yet). If you're using that it could be a reason, but you're probably best reaching out to the team for more dedicated support.

Regards,

Daniel
