Looker Custom Visualization development issues.

[a_shah]

Hi All,

I am doing some R&D on developing a custom visualization in Looker and facing following issues, please advise what is the best way to work on this.

1. I pull a JavaScript file into my project, configure it in the manifest file then commit code into my personal branch, but the visualization is not available under the list of visualizations in Explore? why is that?

2. When I merge the code from my personal branch into the production branch of the looker instance then it becomes available not only to me, but to all other projects on that instance, why? Is there a way I can avoid it from becoming available to all the projects on the Looker instance?

3. Currently all the projects we have on the instance are configured with GitHub, will it help if I get a local project having the repo on the Looker Server and not on GitHub?

Any advice will be helpful here, Thanks in advance!!

Hi @a_shah

1) a custom viz needs to be pushed to the production branch in order to become accesible
2) unfortunately, there is currently no way of making it accessible to only a subset of projects/users
3) That will not change the behavior.


Thanks
Marc
