Hi @alluarjun, This could be due to a few potential reasons:

1. Incorrect file path: The error message suggests that the Terraform executable file is expected to be located at "xxxx\.databricks\bundle\dev\terraform\xxxx\.databricks\bundle\dev\bin\terraform.exe", but it is not found. Ensure that the file path is correct and that the Terraform executable is present in the specified location.
2. Missing Terraform installation: The Databricks Asset Bundle deployment may require Terraform to be installed on the Azure DevOps agent or the environment where the deployment is taking place. Ensure that Terraform is properly installed and accessible in the deployment environment.
3. Incorrect Databricks Asset Bundle configuration: The issue could also be related to the configuration of the Databricks Asset Bundle itself. Double-check the bundle's YAML configuration file to ensure that the Terraform-related paths and settings are correctly specified.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify the Terraform executable location: Ensure that the Terraform executable is located in the expected path as specified in the error message. If the file is not present, you may need to install Terraform or update the Databricks Asset Bundle configuration to point to the correct location of the Terraform executable.
2. Check the Databricks Asset Bundle configuration: Review the YAML configuration file for the Databricks Asset Bundle and ensure that the Terraform-related settings are correctly specified. Verify the file paths and ensure that the Terraform executable is properly referenced.
3. Ensure Terraform is installed: Confirm that Terraform is installed on the Azure DevOps agent or the environment where the Databricks Asset Bundle deployment is taking place. If Terraform is not installed, you may need to install it or update the deployment process to include the Terraform installation step.
4. Troubleshoot the Azure DevOps pipeline: Investigate the Azure DevOps pipeline configuration and logs to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the Terraform executable not to be found.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully deploy the Databricks Asset Bundle using the Azure DevOps pipeline.

What are Databricks Asset Bundles?

Imagine you’re a wizard, and Databricks Asset Bundles are your magical spellbooks. These spellbooks let you write down every spell (job, pipeline, notebook) you need, along with the ingredients (metadata) to cast them. With just a wave of your wand (Databricks CLI), you can summon entire enchanted forests (cloud infrastructures), castles (Databricks resources), and even perform test runs to make sure you don’t accidentally summon a dragon instead of a kitten. By using these magical spellbooks, you and your fellow wizards (team) can work together smoothly, casting powerful spells (projects) faster and safer, all while making sure you follow the strict rules of the wizarding council (organizational standards and compliance). ✨📚🧙‍♂️
