Complex type variable in Databricks.yml not working

For example here I extract the schedule parameter as a complex type variable:

 

variables:
  schedule:
    description: schedule time
    type: complex
    default:
      quartz_cron_expression: '0 22 17 * * ?'
      timezone_id: Asia/Shanghai
      pause_status: "UNPAUSED"

 

And here is how I use in my job definition:

 

resources:
  jobs:
    my_workflow_job:
      name: โ€ฆโ€ฆ
      schedule: ${var.schedule}

 

When I validate the yaml file via command: `databricks bundle validate -t dev -o json`, it told me:

Error: no value assigned to required variable schedule. Assignment can be done through the "--var" flag or by setting the BUNDLE_VAR_schedule environment variable

I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s wrong with my code, I follow the example in the document https://docs.databricks.com/en/dev-tools/bundles/settings.html#define-a-complex-variable to define the complex type variable

You are right, I solved the issue by upgrade the Databricks CLI. My local CLI version is 0.221. According to the release note, it looks like they support the complex variable since 0.222 only.

Itโ€™s strange, it can pass the validation on my colleagueโ€™s laptop. I still cannot pass the validation even restart my Terminal and Macbook

If the validation is fine on your colleague's laptop and not on yours, my first assumption would be that it's a version issue. Do you have the same Databricks CLI version as your colleagues? You can check with 

 

databricks --version

 

Also according to this documentation, you need Databricks CLI version 0.218.0 or higher to use bundles.
