Cannot %run notebook using relative path

DManowitz-BAH — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 14:55:02 GMT

In the root of my workspace, I have the following folder structure set up:

/foo
/ ETL
/ setup
/ utilities

From a notebook in /foo/ETL or /foo/setup, if I try to %run a notebook in /foo/utilities by giving the relative path ../utilities/<x>, I get an error "Permission denied: Forbidden". However, I am able to %run a notebook by giving the absolute path /foo/utilities/<x>.

If I clone this whole structure into my user folder, I also get the same error when trying to use the relative path to refer to my other notebook.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Hello @DManowitz-BAH ,

Hope you are doing great, I tried to replicate this behavior on 12.2 LTS runtime and didn't get any errors for the same folder/workspace structure..

Can you share the cluster configuration details so I can mimic exactly the same setup you have so I can replicate the issue and recommend a solution?

Regards

I am on AWS, running a cluster with Databricks runtime 10.4 LTS.

Hello @DManowitz-BAH I also tried in 10.4 LTS and the issue is not replicatable (shown below)

Is it possible scripts in utilities are referencing other files that you may not have access to?
