Hello, I've created the most basic custom visual - i.e. the one that comes bundled into myTestVisual folder, which says "Update count: 0". I can see it via https://app.powerbi.com but not when I use powerBI desktop and not in localhost:8080.
Also, localhost:8080 doesn't launch when I type pbiviz start in the CLI, which might be connected.
I'm using a corporate system. I have previously created custom visuals fine on my personal machine. PBI Desktop is version 2.46. I can't sign up for PBI web service at work so I'm using a personal account temporarily. But I need to use localhost and Desktop going forwards.
Power BI Desktop: When I import the custom visual into PBI Desktop and then click on the spanner/screwdriver symbol, I see the static placeholder image. I get similar images when I click other graphics, e.g. Donut Chart. These graphics require data to show anything. But even if I try adding data to the custom visual, it just shows the placeholder. (No data is required in the web service version of PBI - the image just shows straight away.)
Localhost: The error I'm getting in IE11 & FF52 is from line 37 of visual.ts: this.target=options.element. "Unable to get property element of undefined". But surely the same variable is used in app.powerbi.com, where it's working fine. I get this line in the console: plugin myTestVisualDC00AEEDDF6D475989B6E1D88E1A21DF_DEBUG.
Can anyone help? Thanks
