Error when Connecting Databricks Cluster to RStudio Desktop App

Hi!

I am trying to connect RStudio to my Databricks Cluster, I already change the permissions to CAN MANAGE and CAN ATTACH to the cluster. Also I have verified to have the correct python version and Databricks version in my computer.

This is the error my computer is displaying after trying to connect:

✖ Problem using 'r-reticulate' [66ms]
A different Python is already loaded:
'/Users/sergioparra/.virtualenvs/r-sparklyr-databricks-13.3/bin/python'
'databricks.connect' was found and loaded from that
environment
✔ Connected to: 'Experimentation' [80ms]
Error in if (grepl("UNAVAILABLE", status_error)) { :
argument is of length zero

Can someone help me please?

Having the same issue when trying to connect Rstudio to Databricks Cluster. Connection seems to be fine until the end error gets thrown:

Error in if (grepl("UNAVAILABLE", status_error)) { : argument is of length zero

Did you solve this problem?

This seems to solve the problem:
https://github.com/sparklyr/sparklyr/issues/3449

Apparently sparklyr requires that Unity Catalog is enabled on the cluster in order to get the connection working right.
