CLI is not helpful in exporting Error: expected to have the absolute path of the object or directory

[vanagnostopoulo]

I try to export a job as a DBA in order to create an Asset Bundle according to this

https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/databricks-asset-bundle-dab-from-existing-works...

I am on Windows 10 Pro x64 withDatabricks CLI v0.223.1

The command is

databricks workspace export --file "c:/mydba" --format DBC --output json -p DEFAULT

But I get

"Error: expected to have the absolute path of the object or directory"

How is this supposed to work? The folder exists.

Yes, the error message is not very meaningful. I believe it's the way how you need to pass the absolute path on windows system. Can you try these approaches?

* --file "c:\\mydba"
* --file "c:\mydba"

To export an existing folder under /Workspace/... export-dir command could be used : 

databricks workspace export-dir /Workspace/Applications/ucx/logs/migrate-tables/run-123-0/ /Users/artem.sheiko/logs
