    Hi. Worked for us:

    • Deleting the Data Flow box from the pipeline
    • Commiting to Git
    • Refreshing browser
    • Adding Data Flow box back into the pipeline
    • Committing
    • Running.

    Thanks!

    I received the error for the first time yesterday as well. Simply deleting and re-adding the same dataflow back into the pipeline seems to have resolved the issue based on testing thus far.

    Minor revision: This issue has occured one time since my original post and I noticed I needed to drag the existing dataflow from the existing resources to the pipeline vs. adding a blank dataflow activity and configuring it.

    I did all the same steps mentioned in the answer by @Jesus A Gonzalez Canas except refreshing the browser, but will keep it in mind if / when I see the issue again.
