Probably not posting this in the right forum, but can't find a good fit.
This is a bit convuluted because we make things hard at work. I have access to a single LLM via VSCode (Amazon Q). Since I can't use that within Databricks but I want my team to be able to use it, I'm trying to leverage asset bundles to find an "easy" way for people to both collaborate on notebooks AND use the LLM we have access into.
That said, there is nothing simple about using asset bundles compared to just loging into the databricks UI and opening a workspace folder and doing work. But I feel like I'm close enough that it's worth asking. So we have IT configured shared "workspace folder" with my team (a databricks group of 120 people). I'd like people to be able to open the workspace folder in VSCode and see the notebooks/templates stored there.
What I'm running into is the docs seem to only like if the extension created the folder and it only creates folders in your user space and not in this shared collaborative folder. The closest documentation i've found is this page: https://docs.databricks.com/en/dev-tools/vscode-ext/configure.html#workspace-folder
But its pretty specific in that you cannot do what I'm trying to do, I think.
> The Databricks extension for Visual Studio Code works only with workspace directories that it creates. You cannot use an existing workspace directory in your project unless it was created by the extension.
So that's why I'm here - am I wasting my time? I made a test project with the vs code tools and it created a ton of artifacts in the project folder. I was going to maybe manually modify those and put them in this shared workspace folder, but feel like I might be wasting my time and why I'm here asking before I start trying stuff.
