PBI Service GIT Integration fails

[August_Stidberg]

Hi,

I started a new repository in Azure DevOps to source control a workspace in Power BI Service. The issue I'm facing is that all the reports and models are stuck with a Git status of "uncommitted," and the source control icon keeps spinning. Additionally, I'm unable to disconnect the workspace. Within the workspace, I have both PBIX and PBIP files. As far as I understand, I can only source control the PBIP files. Has anyone else encountered this problem or knows what I might be doing wrong? I would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I had this issue and it turned out the length of the filepath exceeded the maximum allowed by Power BI, which is 260 characters. After I shorted some of the folder names in the filepath to get it under 260, the git sync worked and gave the synced status.

It's annoying as this a restriction that Microsoft enforce yet any status/error messages don't explain what the issue is.

Have you fixed the issue? 
I'm facing the same.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I am the workspace admin, and I tried both manually committing changes and manually disconnecting the workspace, but I just get an error.

Hi @August_Stidberg ,

1. Attempt to manually commit your changes through the Power BI Service interface. Navigate to the Source Control pane within the Power BI service and see if you can commit your changes there. If this option is not available or fails, it might indicate a configuration issue with the Git integration.

2. Only the workspace admin can manage the connections to the Azure Repo such as connecting, disconnecting, or adding a branch. Once connected, anyone with permission can work in the workspace.
