Error while installing lakebridge

Hi All,

As part of my Databricks learning journey, I am trying installing the Lakebridge in my system but getting below error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\himan\.databricks\labs\lakebridge\state\venv\Lib\site-packages\databricks\sdk\config.py", line 272, in __init__
self._validate()

File "C:\Users\himan\.databricks\labs\lakebridge\state\venv\Lib\site-packages\databricks\sdk\config.py", line 672, in _validate
raise ValueError(f"validate: more than one authorization method configured: {names}")
ValueError: validate: more than one authorization method configured: github-oidc and pat

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Hi,

It occurs as you have two different authentication methods configured simultaneously.

PAT (Personal Access Token) - configured DATABRICKS_TOKEN environment variable
GitHub OIDC - configured DATABRICKS_TOKEN_AUDIENCE environment variable

You can remove one of these authentication methods from the environment variables. PAT authentication is simpler and you can use it.

Use PAT - Find and delete the DATABRICKS_TOKEN_AUDIENCE variable from either User variables (for your account only), or System variables (if set there). Keep these variables - DATABRICKS_HOST, DATABRICKS_TOKEN, DATABRICKS_WORKSPACE_ID, DATABRICKS_ACCOUNT_ID

Close and reopen any command prompt/terminal windows for changes to take effect. Retry the Lakebridge installation

Use GitHub OIDC

If you want to use GitHub OIDC authentication, remove DATABRICKS_TOKEN instead, but this requires additional GitHub Actions setup and is typically used for CI/CD pipelines
