A.K.A - Avoiding the "Grey Box of Death!"
Have you ever updated a semantic model/dataset and didn't realize it broke a visual in a Power BI report? Have you ever seen that "grey box of death" (or your customers call you about it) after making an update to Power BI? In this session, I demonstrate a way to combine Microsoft Playwright and Azure DevOps to automatically test for broken visuals and notify you about those issues.

In this session I will give you an introduction to the Visual Studio Code extension "Fabric Studio" which allows you to manage your Fabric environment directly from within VSCode. Leveraging the Fabric REST APIs you can easily browse through Fabric items and run various tasks. For not so common API calls there is also the ability to user VSCode notebooks offering intelli-sense and auto-complete from all existing API calls. It further allows you to modify existing items like semantic models, notebooks, pipelines, etc. in the VSCode IDE and publish your changes back to the Fabric service. It also features a OneLake browser to inspect the output of your operations.
