I not able to run Lean on my desktop in backtesting-desktop environment in orer to chart. Backtesting environment works fine.
These are my config settings:
1. "environment": "backtesting-desktop",
2. "algorithm-type-name": "BasicTemplateAlgorithm",
3. "job-user-id": "#####",
4. "api-access-token": "######....####",
When I run in Visual Studio, I get:

SOLVED:
Problem was that the QuantConnect.Views.csproj was not compiled while buildiing Lean.
Everything worked fine, after compiling it.
John Rewolinski
I'm getting this same issue. I have rebuilt the entire solution, including Quantconnect.Views. Do we have a fix for this?
Michael Manus
are you also backtesting in desktop mode?
Michael Manus
for the "backtesting desktop mode profile" are some settings set like this one:
"desktop-exe": "../../../UserInterface/bin/Debug/QuantConnect.Views.exe"
did you check if this file exists? (debug/release?)

Hi, I am having the same issue. I have rebuilt the solution and nothing changed. Im not sure about QuantConnect.Views.csproj that Hassan mentioned. I am running in desktop mode because I changed the environment to backtesting-desktop and yes the "desktop-exe": "../../../UserInterface/bin/Debug/QuantConnect.Views.exe" file does exist.
Can you help me out?
Tayler Allen
Does anyone else still have this problem?

Thanks. I didn't know that group existed
Tayler Allen
I figured out the problem. I changed "desktop-exe": "../../../UserInterface/bin/Debug/QuantConnect.Views.exe" to "desktop-exe": "../../../UserInterface/bin/Release/QuantConnect.Views.exe" in the config.json file.
There is a better explain here:
