Accessing Workspace / Repo file works in notebook, but not from job

[dollyb]

In a notebook attached to.a normal personal cluster I can successfully do this:

%fs ls file:/Workspace/Repos/$userName/$repoName/$folderName

When I run an init-script on a UC volume that the does the same thing, I'm getting this error:

ls: cannot access 'file:/Workspace/Repos/$userName/$repoName/$folderName': No such file or director

Both are run by the same user.

Hi @dollyb,

Within your init script are you doing %fs ls or unix command "ls" only? Looks like variables referenced on the path are not picking up! Have you tried adding some debug debug logic on your code? 

If you can DIM your init script I can have a look at it.

Hi @dollyb ,

Can you please share some sample command which you are running in the init.sh file ?

It's simply the statement I listed in my post. There are no variables, I just wrote it like that to not post the exact values. So it's something like this in the script and that's it:

ls file:/Workspace/Repos/my_user_name@company.com/my_repo_name/my_folder_name

By the way I'm on Azure Databricks. Sometimes it seems this variant doesn't support all the features the AWS/GCP variants do.
