[Databricks Assets Bundles] no deployment state

[jorperort]

Good morning,

I'm trying to run:

databricks bundle run --debug -t dev integration_tests_job

My bundle looks:

bundle:
  name: x

include:
  - ./resources/*.yml

targets:
  dev:
    mode: development
    default: true
    workspace:
      host: x
    run_as:
      user_name: x

  prod:
    mode: production
    workspace:
      host: x
    run_as:
      user_name: x

resources:
  jobs:
    integration_tests_job:
      name: integration_tests_job

      email_notifications:
        on_failure:
          - x

      tasks:
        - task_key: notebook_task
          job_cluster_key: job_cluster
          notebook_task:
            notebook_path: ../tests/integration/main.py

      job_clusters:
        - job_cluster_key: job_cluster
          existing_cluster_id: x

And I'm getting this error:

10:56:28 ERROR Error: no deployment state. Did you forget to run 'databricks bundle deploy'? pid=265687 mutator=seq mutator=terraform.Load
10:56:28 ERROR Error: no deployment state. Did you forget to run 'databricks bundle deploy'? pid=265687 mutator=seq
Error: no deployment state. Did you forget to run 'databricks bundle deploy'?
10:56:28 ERROR failed execution pid=265687 exit_code=1 error="no deployment state. Did you forget to run 'databricks bundle deploy'?"

 I observe that the deployment seems to be carried out correctly, creating /Workspace/Users/x/.bundle/x/dev/state/terraform.tfstate

{
  "version": 4,
  "terraform_version": "1.5.5",
  "serial": 1,
  "lineage": "x",
  "outputs": {},
  "resources": [],
  "check_results": null
}

Could you help me with the error?

Hi @Retired_mod , I'm going to review what you're saying in detail. Anyway, let me comment in case you have any ideas. I'm going point by point.

1. I have executed the deploy command and the files are deployed in the correct path. I also see the Terraform state file locally and in the path I mentioned earlier (I have also put the content of the file). I see the folders of artifacts, files, and states in the Databricks path.

2. I'm going to review this thoroughly. I have the Databricks CLI authenticated, and the deploy is done correctly. What I think I don't have configured are the environment variables (The host is retrieved from the DAB .yaml file in the workspace, if I'm not mistaken, right?).

3. My configuration seems correct, but I'll review it thoroughly just in case.

4. The status is what I mentioned before, apparently everything is correct.

5. I also need to check this because my version of Databricks is 12.2 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.3.2, Scala 2.12). Where can I find which version of Databricks is compatible with version 1.5.5.?

6. Thank you very much for the information. Let's see if I can manage to execute the run command and make some changes recommended by the URL.

Hello @Retired_mod, I have been running tests and I can't get it to work. The problem arises when running the integration test job. As a temporary measure to avoid getting stuck, I've used the Databricks CLI (jobs) to create and execute the job, and it works correctly. All these tests are being conducted from my local machine with user authentication. Once it's working, I'll use a service principal from Azure DevOps pipelines.

I want to inform you that I have authenticated the CLI as follows, and I have configured the environment variables in this way:

; The profile defined in the DEFAULT section is to be used as a fallback when no profile is explicitly specified.
[DEFAULT]

[adb-x]
host      = x
auth_type = databricks-cli

export DATABRICKS_HOST="x"
export DATABRICKS_TOKEN="x"

I have conducted tests by modifying fields in the YAML, for instance, adding:

permissions:
  - level: CAN_RUN
    user_name: x

run_as:
  - user_name: x

I can't seem to make it work. The deployment is successful, do you have any idea what might be affecting the 'run' command to return 'ERROR Error: no deployment state. Did you forget to run 'databricks bundle deploy'? pid=265687 mutator=seq mutator=terraform.Load'?

I wanted to share that I came across this issue as well. I was receiving an empty terraform.tfstate file after deploying to a workspace, and was not able to "run". After noticing the "resources": [] was empty in the terraform file (like your code), I thought maybe the resources file could not be found; I was right.

With this line of code in the databricks.yaml file, it was referencing ".yml" files, but my resources file had a ".yaml" file extension instead:

include:
  - ./resources/*.yml

In the resources folder: "setup_jobs.yaml"

I changed the file extension, and got the deployment terraform code to find the file, and now deploys/runs properly.

I hope that helps.

Good afternoon @Aaron12

Thank you very much for your response. I will test your solution and then close the post. Since I didn't receive a response, I executed the jobs using the Databricks Jobs CLI. Once these jobs are executed, I delete them because I used them for my CI/CD. Do you know if with Databricks asset bundles you can execute jobs and then delete these jobs?

Ahh interesting... so sounds like you gave up on DAB's because of this issue. Sorry to hear.

Yes, you can use the command "databricks bundle destroy --target <workspace_name>" to delete all instances of the dab, including the jobs declared in workflows.
