'databricks configure --token' hangs for input

Question

I run following task in Azure DevOps, it always hangs for input? Why wasn't my bash automatic supply working?

databricksUrl=https://...
databricksToken=*****

databricks configure --token << EOF
$(databricksUrl)
$(databricksToken)
EOF

Answer 1

There are two solutions for Databricks CLI > 0.11.0:

• Generate ~/.databricks.cfg directly in form:

echo "[DEFAULT]                                                               
host = $url
token = $token" > ~/.databricks.cfg

• Use new options --host & --token-file to specify host & token:

echo $token > token-file
databricks configure --host $url --token-file token-file
rm -f token-file

Answer 2

You try the below Inline bash script to authenticate with Azure Databricks without variables.

databricks configure --token <<EOF

You can use DevOps for Azure Databricks extension.
