Import from repo

[Kibour]

Hi all,

I am trying the new "git folder" feature, with a repo that works fine from the "Repos". In the new folder location, my imports from my own repo don't work anymore. Anyone faced something similar?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience

Hi @Retired_mod ,

Thanks for all the suggested options.

I tried again with a brand new git folder. I just changed cluster from DBR 14.2 ML to 14.3 ML, and now the imports work as expected.

Kind regards

Hi from the Git folder product manager - 

If you use DBR 14.3+, the Git folder root is automatically added to the Python `sys.path`. This is documented here. 

Unfortunately we could not backport this behavior to earlier DBR versions. Hope this helps!
