Cannot run ./Includes/Classroom-Setup-01.1 in Advanced Data Engineering with Databricks with 12

[dwalsh]

I am started the Advanced Data Engineering with Databricks course and have tried to run the includes code at the start. We recently had issues with 12.2 and moved to a newer version as there appeared to be some issues around setuptools. 

If I run "

%run ./Includes/Classroom-Setup-01.1

" using 12.2 I get the following

java.lang.Exception: Process List(virtualenv, /local_disk0/.ephemeral_nfs/envs/pythonEnv-e9611c15-151b-41e4-9cb5-72c4670cf083, -p, /local_disk0/.ephemeral_nfs/cluster_libraries/python/bin/python, --no-download, --no-setuptools, --no-wheel) exited with code 1.

%pwd also returns the same error

If I try to use 14.3 which we currently use in work, it will start running but eventually stops due to not having the version suggested as below.

AssertionError: The Databricks Runtime is expected to be one of ['12.2.x-scala2.12', '12.2.x-photon-scala2.12', '12.2.x-cpu-ml-scala2.12'], found "14.3.x-scala2.12". Please see the "Troubleshooting | Spark Version" section of the "Version Info" notebook for more information.

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to proceed here?

Update. This seems to potentially be some weird issue on Azure. I had created a new test environment recently with the exact same config using a new VNet and it runs without any issues on that.

I am also having an issue. Running the first command itself. I am not sure how to download the Classroom-Setup data
