Unable to repro. Can you please provide steps to repro this issue.

I've been unable to repro consistently. It's a combination of slow PBI iframe load time+ refresh or navigation events.

@raquelcarvalho , This issue has been fixed in version powerbi-client: 2.22.4. It is published as beta version, so try installing the specific powerbi-client version for now.

@KotanaSai21 , Thanks! Well, I'm using the lib powerbi-client-react in version 1.4.0, which has the dependency "powerbi-client": "^2.21.1". As the fixed version is in beta, the lastest version is installed, which is 2.22.3 of powerbi-client. So I keep getting the error. How could I overcome this?

[raquelcarvalho]

I got around the problem by using the paths option in the tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "powerbi-client": ["node_modules/powerbi-client"]
    }
  }
}

This tells TypeScript to look for powerbi-client in my project's node_modules directory.

@raquelcarvalho , If we specify the "powerbi-client":"2.22.4" in our package.json along with powerbi-client-react it should override the version of powerbi-client getting from powerbi-client-react.

It should work, if not try using overrides in package.json.
