Cannot run Classroom-setup (Coursera: Distributed Computing with Spark)

[andremahfouz]

Hello!

I'm using Databricks Community Edition as part of the coursera course with UCDavis Distributed Computing with Spark.

I'm having an issue with this command:

%run ../Includes/Classroom-Setup

It worked for me previously and I was able to mount the data for the first module.

I get the following now:

Not sure what to do. Didn't change anything with the configuration file. Also reuploaded the .dbc file to make sure I didn't accidentally botch anything. Running on Windows 11 + Firefox.

Hi Kaniz.

Thank you for your prompt reply!

There's no problem with the paths or the directory. I tried to run the script directly from 'Classroom-setup', this is what I get:

The data mounts properly presumably but I get the error when trying to create the table that I assume is related to the Dataset-Mounts script.

What I think is happening is that the accessKey and SecretKey used to mount the data has expired or is outdated:

I re-downloaded the lessons.dbc file from Coursera to see if anything has changed but they're the same.

Adding this for further clarification, found when I expand the error:

Hello Kaniz,

Thank you for your help! It seems multiple people are facing this issue, we've posted on the course forum over on Coursera and waiting for an update.

I am having the same issue (same error message) as well with this coursera course. I've double checked the file pathing and everything looks correct. I am also using windows 11. I have not found any related resources online. Please advise.

Hey Ian, still nothing on my end. I've paid for Coursera Plus and I'm stalled here. If you come by a solution I'd appreciate if you let me know.
