Databricks asset bundles dependencies

[pdemeulenaer]

Is anyone aware of a way to include a requirements.txt within the job definition of a databricks asset bundle? Documentation mentions how to have dependencies in workspace files, or Unity Catalog volumes, but I wanted to ask if it is possible to declare the dependencies directly from a requirements.txt file within the bundle definition. Thanks!

Hi @pdemeulenaer, When working with Databricks Asset Bundles, you can specify library dependencies for local development in the requirements*.txt file at the root of the bundle project. However, job task library dependencies are declared in your bundle configuration files. These dependencies are often necessary as part of the job task type specification¹. If you’re using Python libraries, you can also add Python wheel files directly to your job tasks in the bundle configuration.
