databricks asset bundles wheel task error

Question

I wanted to use the Databricks cli to deploy a python wheel in Databricks. However after running databricks bundle deploy I am getting an error:

Error: INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s)

I tried it with the template project from the cli too (databricks bundle init). I am getting the same error.

Databricks CLI version: 0.205.0

What should I change in the project to be able to work with python wheels?

I basically followed the steps in this description: https://docs.databricks.com/en/delta-live-tables/tutorial-bundles.html

Answer 1

I have just found the solution for the problem.

For some reason the cli uses python with the python3 command. However in my Windows distribution python could be used only with the python command (I assume this is the normal way to work with python in windows).

The solution for me was to clone the python.exe and rename it to python3.exe. After that the databricks bundle deploy worked as expected.
