The issue is that delete workbook method raises an exception "400029:Bad Request : there was a problem deleting Workbook"
whereas the content is actually getting deleted from the Tableau Server. This occurs when looping around the contents as well as when
a single content is attempted to delete.
Versions
Details of your environment, including:
Tableau Server version - 2023.1.4
Python version - 3.12
TSC library version - 0.28
To Reproduce
Use the server.workbooks.delete method to delete a workbook or multiple workbooks and eventually you will get a generic error "400029:Bad Request : there was a problem deleting Workbook"
server = TSC.Server('tableauserverURL', use_server_version=True)
server.add_http_options({'verify': False})
server.version = '3.19'
if server.auth.sign_in(tableau_auth):
print("Signed In !!")
else:
print("Unable to Sign In ! Please re-try !! \n\n")
