I have a Databricks asset bundle with the following structure:

bundle:
  name: <some value here>
  uuid: <some value here>

include:
  - resources/*.yml

variables:
  catalog_bronze: {} 
  catalog_silver: {}
  user_name: {}

targets:
  dev:
    mode: development
    default: true
    git:
      branch: dev
    variables:
      catalog_bronze: <some value here>
      catalog_silver: <some value here>
      user_name: <some value here>
    workspace:
      host: <some value here>
      root_path: <some value here>
    run_as:
      user_name: ${var.user_name}
  prod:
    mode: production
    git:
      branch: main
    workspace:
      host: <some value here>
      root_path: <some value here>
    variables:
      catalog_bronze: bronze_rock_prd
      catalog_silver: silver_rock_prd
      user_name: <some value here>

When I run the following command:

databricks bundle validate --profile dev --target dev --debug

The validation process takes a very long time, even though my bundle contains very few files.

The last log message I get is:

17:56:13 Debug: Path <my root path> has type directory (ID: <some value> ) pid=17736 mutator=validate:files_to_sync

Has anyone faced this issue? Any ideas on how to speed up the validation or troubleshoot what’s causing the delay?
