Notebook Paths Errors in Community Edition

mban-mondo — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 09:24:59 GMT

I have the following Notebook in Databricks UI:

dbutils.entry_point.getDbutils().notebook().getContext().toJson()

notebook_path = dbutils.notebook.entry_point.getDbutils().notebook().getContext().notebookPath().get()

print(f"Current notebook path: {notebook_path}")

#Now I try to list notebook files

%ls /Users/mar@email.com/path_test
%ls /Users/mar@email.com/

I get this answer:
Current notebook path: /Users/mar@email.com/path_test
ls: cannot access '/Users/mar@email.com/': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/Users/mar@email.com/path_test': No such file or directory

Hi @mban-mondo ,

I think this is related to permissions issue. The same code will work if you create your own workspace. Since databricks community it's not your own instace, they probably had to disable some "features".

Many thanks. It would be helpful if the error message said 'No access has been granted to this resource' instead of 'Resource not found. 🙂
