[ISSUE] Path (\Repos\Customer) doesn't start with '/'

[troyinsight]

G'day,

I'm having trouble creating a Repo using v0.3.11. This was working perfectly with v0.3.10. As you can see, I'm using a forward slash in my HCL code, but the error message clearly displays a backslash. The Customer folder already exists within the Repos folder.

Configuration

resource "databricks_repo" "customer_repo" {
  git_provider = "gitHub"
  url = data.github_repository.customer_databricks_repository.http_clone_url
  path = "/Repos/Customer/Notebooks"
}

Expected Behavior

Repo called Notebooks is created under Repos/Customer folder

Actual Behavior

Error: Path (\Repos\Customer) doesn't start with '/'

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply

Terraform and provider versions

Terraform v1.0.11
on windows_amd64

• provider registry.terraform.io/databrickslabs/databricks v0.3.11
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azuread v2.9.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm v2.85.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/random v3.1.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/integrations/github v4.18.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/microsoft/azuredevops v0.1.7

Important Factoids

I'm using Windows 11

it looks like filepath always converts paths into OS-specific variant :-( It wasn't caught because we're not using windows
it's broken by following piece: https://github.com/databrickslabs/terraform-provider-databricks/blob/master/workspace/resource_repo.go#L63

fix is easy, can you try to build with #912 ?

[troyinsight]

Sure, I can give it a test. How do I point my provider at this particular branch? Sorry, I've never done this for a provider

[alexott]

You need to build from source code. I'm not sure that we have instructions for that for Windows. You'll need install Go language, etc.

Can you run provider from Linux or Mac?

[troyinsight]

Not a problem, I can give it a go over the weekend. Yes, I've got access to both Linux and Mac.

[alexott]

it works just fine on Mac. Really, I did miss the fact that filepath library converts paths into OS-specific format.

Yep, there was a problem related to local paths with dbfs files or notebooks. Should not be the case for remote paths
