Tableau Desktop
OneDrive

解決方法

This issue can occur both on Windows and Mac where OneDrive is used and Tableau repository folder is included in the sync folders with OneDrive which prevents Tableau from writing out the hyper logs leading to the failure.

Use one of the following options:

Option 1

Create a new folder, which is not synced with OneDrive.
In Tableau Desktop, select File > Repository Location.
Select the new folder that will act as the new repository location in the 'Select a Repository' dialog box..
Restart Tableau Desktop so that it uses the new repository.

Option 2

Un-select the Tableau Desktop repository folder (the default location is Documents/My Tableau Repository) in the OneDrive app for syncing. For more information on how to do so, see Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer.
