databricks Asset Bundle

[tejaswi24]

i have come accross a documentation on asset bundles long back whcih states that when you type
databricks bundle init
it gives us option to choose a project type. But i see the below error when i do that i see the below error

is there a way, i can take inputs from from commandline from template.

databricks bundle init default-python

@gchandra Thankyou for the response, but the default-python is not asking any input parameters. It is directly creating a sample my_project folder. I asked for a ay to customize inputs from user for choosing. Do you see a way to do this.

[gchandra]

Keeping Automation in mind, DAB helps you with custom Templates for customized Inputs.

@gchandra so does that mean there is no way that bundle support custom project name and project type when we do init

[gchandra]

you can use the --config-file parameter and pass all the values.

[gchandra · Accepted solution]

Create a conf.json with the values

{"project_name":"gc","include_notebook":"no","include_dlt":"no","include_python":"yes"}

 and call your DAB int this way

databricks bundle init default-python --config-file conf.json

Thankyou @gchandra 
this solution worked.

Can you share which terminal you are using?

The command is supposed to provide you with an interactive selection menu. This does not appear if the terminal does not support it, so if you could share which one you're using, we might be able to replicate and investigate.

Thank you!

I use the standard zsh terminal. When in doubt I use  --help to find out the options it has.

[pietern]

That's the shell running inside the terminal.

Can you tell the terminal type? E.g. Git BASH, cmd.exe, inside VS Code or else?

[gchandra]

Bash
