permission denied listing external volume when using vscode databricks extension

[CDICSteph]

hey, i'm using the Db extension for vscode (Databricks connect v2). When using dbutils to list an external volume defined in UC like so: 

  dbutils.fs.ls("/Volumes/dev/bronze/rawdatafiles/")

i get this error: 

"databricks.sdk.errors.mapping.PermissionDenied: No operations allowed on this path..."

However, running the same statement in the Db workspace works fine.

We still face the problem (UC enabled shared cluster). Is there any resolution? @Retired_mod

Hi  @Retired_mod,

thanks for your answer! Meanwhile we received the following answer from Azure Support: 

I have checked this internally and engaging the Databricks backline team and confirmed that, The Databrick connect does not support UC volume, and The Databricks engineering team is working on this, but we do not have any ETA as of now.

Can you confirm that accessing volumes should indeed not yet be possible using databricks-connect? 

Thanks

I am able to list volumes in a shared UC cluster. I hope you are no more facing this.

Works now also in VSCode with connect, at least it using dbutils from the workspace client instead of the spark session...

great, thanks for confirming. This feature was under development in the early quarter last year. Now it is available.
