I'm working on setting up tooling to allow team members to easily register and load models from a central mlflow model registry via dbconnect.

However after following the instructions at the public docs , hitting this error

raise _NoDbutilsError
mlflow.utils.databricks_utils._NoDbutilsError 

Looks like _get_dbutils in mlflow expects a valid instance of  ip_shell. Any pointers or workarounds on how to get dbconnect to work with central model registry
