Databricks-connect VSCode debugging pandas_api not working

[FabriceDeseyn]

Hi

I am using the databricks extension on VSCode and am running against an issue since two days, prior it worked fine. I receive an error when I want to use Pandas-on-Spark during debugging.

from databricks.connect import DatabricksSession
spark = DatabricksSession.builder.getOrCreate()

df = spark.sql('select 1')
print(df.count()) # ---> printing 1

df.pandas_api().describe()

If I look deeper it seems that SPARK_REMOTE was not set and therefor the error is thrown.

Can anyone pinpoint what I did wrong.
I did following steps already:

• reinstall databricks-connect
• reinstall extension
• other cluster
• other cluster with DBR 13.1 (and corresponding databricks-connect)

Additional info:
It seems that the issue comes from the 1.1.0 version of the databricks extension in VSCode.
Downgrading to 1.0.0 solves my issue.
