Issue in model documentation

[kalebkemp]

Hi.. I'm not sure how useful this will be. I'm still digging to find out even what is causing this, or what is being pulled in as a "InferredPartitionSource" in my semantic model, so I'm not sure how I can help someone else to reproduce the issue. Everything that is working as expected is coming in as a "MPartitionSource" or "CalculatedPartitionSource".. I am getting this stack trace when attempting to generate documentation for some of our semantic models. If I can do anything to provide further info please let me know.

For now, to achieve what I was trying to achieve locally, I change my code to exclude things where table.IsHidden

Hi,

Maybe I can help you with this. We still have to fix this, if it isn't already.

I am having the same issue with a Direct Lake model. I think it is due to this code assuming SQL. It looks to me that SourceType is "Entity" with direct lake and there is no query.

if str(object.Partitions[0].SourceType) == "Calculated": partition_type = "dax" partition_source = object.Partitions[0].Source.Expression elif str(object.Partitions[0].SourceType) == "M": partition_type = "powerquery" partition_source = object.Partitions[0].Source.Expression elif str(object.Partitions[0].SourceType) == "CalculationGroup": partition_type = "" partition_source = "" else: partition_type = "sql" partition_source = object.Partitions[0].Source.Query

@kevarnold972 I think you are on the money: Partition Source Types

We need to make sure to account for every possible type of partition:

Depending on the partition type, accessing the actual query or source can be different in the model. Old legacy partitions are partition.Source.Query, Calc groups, & M are partition.Source.Expression. Looks like Entity might be partition.ExpressionSource. Would need to play around with it.

Side note: It's probably time to beef up my little local adventure works pbix file and use a specific set of semantic models in Fabric for the testing.
