Not able to access the output of libify.exporter(globals())

[ethannakamura1211]

Currently it doesn't seem possible to access the json output of libify.exporter(globals()). The only way to do so is by copying it from the console. Is there a work-around?

@ethannakamura1211 Unless you are using Databricks Community, you would not need to copy the JSON from libify.exporter(globals())

• Are you using Databricks Community (https://community.cloud.databricks.com)?
• Did you try libify.importer(globals(), '/path/to/ImportedNotebook')? If yes, what was the output?

Hey man facing the issue, when I do an import

mod1 = libify.importer(globals(), config={"key": "IDoG5OWjB0Xxw_ECYzdVkBLyI_wAONLBS7bAL4MHrK4=", "file": "/tmp/tmpu4f3cyxr"})

it returns with a new path?!
Notebook exited: {"key": "zZ3e1eAamCwbuqUZ1qmxaT1EaK7icsaLFK_wlGEB_rg=", "file": "/tmp/tmp0b1pl78g"}

Hi @businessglitch, are you using the Databricks Community Edition?

[businessglitch]

Hmm, i don't think so, using data bricks for a client directly from the Azure portal. In case if it doesn't work on that do you know any other libraries that do that same?

None that I'm aware of.
The code you are using is supposed to be used only for Databricks Community Cloud. For regular (paid) Databricks accounts, you can just do mod1 = libify.importer(globals(), '/path/to/importee1') where/path/to/importee1 is the path to the notebook you are trying to import.
Look at the Typical Usage part of the documentation for reference.

Whatif someone needs to pass few arguments e.g. libify.importer(globals(), '/path/to/importee1 <need to pass two parameters/values/args>')? is it possible?
Alternate of this : dbutils.notebook.run("/path/to/importee1 ", 0, {"BATCH_ID": batch_id, "DB_Name" : db})

I haven't come across a use case where parameters would need to be specified while importing a module. How are you planning on using these variables?

@vagrantism when i use
mod1 = libify.importer(globals(), config={"key": "IDoG5OWjB0Xxw_ECYzdVkBLyI_wAONLBS7bAL4MHrK4=", "file": "/tmp/tmpu4f3cyxr"})

and when try to use "mod1.something" it says mod1 module not found. could you please tell me what i'm doing wrong?
i'm using azure databricks

@mrizwan12, can you check if the file ("tmp/tmpu4f3cyxr") actually exists?
