Need help getting semantic link to work

[joakimfenno]

I have added the semantic link library to my workspace environment in fabric 

however It does not work when trying to access it, for example

import sempy.fabric as fabric
# List the available semantic models

df_datasets = fabric.list_datasets()
df_datasets

part of the log:

ExtendedSocketException Traceback (most recent call last) ExtendedSocketException: (00000005, 0xFFFDFFFF): Name or service not known at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntryOrAddressesCore(String hostName, Boolean justAddresses, AddressFamily addressFamily, ValueStopwatch stopwatch) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(String hostNameOrAddress, AddressFamily family) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(String hostNameOrAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.<>c__DisplayClass216_0.<<CreateHttpClient>b__1>d.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location --- at System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionPool.ConnectToTcpHostAsync(String host, Int32 port, HttpRequestMessage initialRequest, Boolean async, CancellationToken cancellationToken) The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: HttpRequestException Traceback (most recent call last) HttpRequestException: Name or service not known (9c8de003bc814850bd7b1111fbf5fb75.pbidedicated.windows.net:443) ---> System.Net.Internals.SocketExceptionFactory+ExtendedSocketException (00000005, 0xFFFDFFFF): Name or service not known at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntryOrAddressesCore(String hostName, Boolean justAddresses, AddressFamily addressFamily, ValueStopwatch stopwatch) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(String hostNameOrAddress, AddressFamily family) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostAddresses(String hostNameOrAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(String host, Int32 port) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.<>c__DisplayClass216_0.<<CreateHttpClient>b__1>d.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location ---

Am I missing something obvious here?

I don't see anything obviously wrong here.

Your code looks good to me.

It's not necessary to install Semantic Link or add it to environment. It is pre-installed.

I have no idea what that error message means. 

Can you try to create a new workspace, add a semantic model, create a new notebook, and run the code again.

Just use the default environment.

And try this code:

import sempy

import sempy.fabric as fabric

x = fabric.list_items()

x

sure but I still need help identify what issue with my general workspace is

[frithjof_v]

This works fine on my side, I didn't do anything about installation or environment:

The Created Timestamp column seems to return a strange value, but other than that it seems to be working as expected.

I have the same issue, but new workspaces do not solve the issue.
Which SKU did you used?
