Problems with running "Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering" labs

nferran — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 14:59:42 GMT

Hi there! I'm Natanael Ferrán from Argentina, and I'm new to Databricks.

I've currently enrolled in the course "Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering".

Thing is that I cannot run any notebooks from the course, I'm getting this error

AssertionError: The Databricks Runtime is expected to be one of ['13.2.x-scala2.12', '13.2.x-photon-scala2.12', '13.2.x-cpu-ml-scala2.12'], found "12.2.x-scala2.12". Please see the "Troubleshooting | Spark Version" section of the "Version Info" notebook for more information.

I know there's a problem with Runtime version, but I cannot find 13.2 required version when starting a new cluster. I'm using free trial version from Azure.

Any help?

Thanks in advance!

you need to set cluster' runtime version to be greater than 13.2.x

and change the notebook code to use that runtime verion :

Thanks! It helped me to solve the problem. But now I get another error:

AssertionError: Failed to create the catalog "***_3fb7_da". Please see the "Troubleshooting | Cannot Create Catalog" section of the "Version Info" notebook for more information.

Do you know how to fix this?
