Issue with SQL Alert Task in Databricks Asset Bundles: Unknown Alert ID and alerts-v2 URL Mismatch

Hello,

I have deployed a Databricks SQL Alert using Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs), and I’ve also deployed a Job to execute this alert through the same bundle.

Below is a snippet of the task configuration I used:
```
- task_key: "alerts_error"
sql_task:
alert:
alert_id: ${resources.alerts.MY_ALERT_NAME.id}
warehouse_id: ${resources.sql_warehouses.SERVERLESS_WH.id}
```

The deployment itself was successful. However, the task fails with the error: "The SQL entity could not be found." When I check the task configuration in the Databricks UI, the SQL alert is displayed as "unknown alert with ID: {my alert id}".

Furthermore, when I click the "Open alert" link in the SQL Alert section of the task execution page, it redirects to {HOST}/sql/alerts/{id}?o={workspace_id} and returns a "the request was invalid" error.

Interestingly, when I access the alert directly from the Alert console, the URL is {HOST}/sql/alerts-v2/{id}?o={workspace_id}. The difference seems to be the path: /alerts/ vs /alerts-v2/. It appears that the task is unable to locate the alert resource due to this path discrepancy.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a solution for this?

DABS bundle resources maps to SQL Alert V2

https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/bundles/resources#alert

So when you use DABS to create the alert it creates V2 alert .

SQL Alert V2 are in public preview and not yet GA ( https://docs.databricks.com/api/workspace/alertsv2#:~:text=Alerts%20V2%20API%20%7C%20REST%20API,Knowledge%20Assistants%20Beta) which could be a reason internally the jobs UI and backend are still looking for alerts under /sql/alerts/{alert_id} . Also the definition of SQL Task does not have a way to pass Alerts V2 ( SQL Task params take alert id ( there is no options of alert v2) - https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/bundles/job-task-types#sql-task)

I think until Alert V2 become GA you will continue to face this issue .

You will probably have to come up with a solution that involves running the SQL that creates the alert instead of using DABS to create the alert until Alert V2 becomes GA .
