How can I fix this error. ExecutionError: An error occurred while calling o392.mount: java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello, I'm trying to mount my Databricks to my Azure gen 2 data lake to read in data from the container, but I get an error when executing this line of code:

dbutils.fs.mount(
source = "abfss://resumes@choisysresume.dfs.core.windows.net/",
mount_point = "/mnt/resumeSharepointdata", extra_configs = configs)

The error I get is: (Note: The "redacted" is me taking out sensitive information)

What is the problem here? How could I go about fixing it?

checked it with my mount script and that is exactly the same except that I do not put a '/' after dfs.core.windows.net
You might wanna try that.
Also, is Unity enabled?  Because Unity does not allow mounts.
