Databricks Python Import Bug

Hello,

I am reaching to the community in order to shed some light into a Bug I have been encountering recently. The two setups are as follows:

SETUP-1 (WORKS):

  • Python Notebook in Workspace FileSystem (this is Shared/folder/...)
  • Python custom wheel library in .whl installed into the cluster

SETUP-2 (DOES NOT WORK)

  • Python Notebook in Repos
  • Same wheel and cluster as SETUP-1

Moreover SETUP-2 is able to improt some of the functions but not all of them. At first I thought it was an issue with the Wheel generation, but SETUP-1 works just fine and is able to improt everything.

This issue makes me think that there might be a difference into how Databricks manages filesystem or any other variables in Repos that I am not grasping.

Can someone indicate me what could be the issue here or any important difference when working with databricks Repos?
