DABs job name must start with a letter or underscore

[maikl]

Hi,

In UI I used the pipeline name 00101_source_bronze. I wanted to do the same in the Databricks Asset Bundles.

but when the configuration is refreshed against Databricks Workspace I see this error:

I found that this issue can be connect to Terraform version 1.6.5 - 1.7.x. (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/34786)

Is possible somehow to update the Terraform version?

I am using the Databricks CLI version 0.235

Thank you.

We are aware of this situation, as per our engineering team this is more a limitation as of now with terraform and not specifically to the Databricks provider, as you have mentioned as of now you might need to start the name with a letter or the underscore.

When the limitation is with Terraform, can we use our version of Terraform, like 1.9.5? Save the terraform file into any folder within the bundle folder structure.

If it's impossible, when is the engineering team planning to fix this problem/limitation?

We are considering migrating the Synapse pipelines to Databricks Workflow and using the Asset Bundles.

Thank you.

As mentioned above, this is a limitation directly with Terraform due to this our engineering team is limited on the actions that can be done, you can find more information about this limitation on the Terraform documentation: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/resources/syntax#:~:text=letter%20or%20underscore

I understood it.
