Fabric Git Integration - “Something went wrong” Error
Context
I have been having an annoying error with Fabric Git Integration when trying to do a Git sync from my Azure DevOps repository in my Fabric Workspace or when I try to use the feature “branch out” to another / existing workspace. I get it, that the error behind the scene could be my fault, but how come I don’t get the exactly error message in the Fabric UI? That is the error that I am getting:
How to find out the reason
You can find out the reason behind the error using the Fabric REST APIs. To do this, make sure that Fabric Git Integration is active in you Fabric Workspace. I used Postman to do the API calls for testing but you can use whatever you want.
Step 1: Get the authentication bearer token
There are multiple ways to get the authentication bearer token, so that you can use in Postman for the API call. Since we are just doing some quick and dirty testing, you can go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/articles/ and use any API call to get the bearer token using the “Try it” (see below). Then you will get a bearer token from the user you logged in.
You will use the bearer token in all the following API calls. So, you have to paste the bearer token under Authorization in Postman.
Step 2: GET API call for git status to obtain the remote commit hash
See the screenshot below from the API call to get the remote commit hash. Hold on, we will use this later :)
Step 3: POST API call to update the workspace from git to obtain the operation id
The goal here is to obtain the operation id. Depending on the number of items you want to synchronize it can take a few minutes.
Step 4: GET API call to get the error details
With the operation id we can do another API call to finally get the error details:
For example, in this case the error was in a Data Pipeline. Then I went in my repository and found this invalid or not supported year “9998”:
I know this is unfortunately a workaround and I hope that we can get such information soon direct in Fabric UI.
I hope this can help you guys at debugging :)
