I am following a guide on how to integrate Azure DevOps CI/CD with Azure Databricks. https://medium.com/@bedatse/azure-devops-ci-cd-with-azure-databricks-and-data-factory-part-1-c05a44536a8e

Everything is working fine up to Step 3-2, where I need to link my workbook to Azure DevOps Repo, which should be the URL of my git repository.

I have set the Path in Git Repo to the location where I want Databricks to save my notebook inside the repository. enter image description here

However, when I save I get the following Git Failed message;

Error while syncing Git history: Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')? at [Source: ????<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">???? ?? ????<html lang="en-US">??<head><title>?? ??

Any assistance greatly appreciated

  • You can reproduce the issue by using Fiddler to capture the records the analyze its detailed error. If convenient, you could share part of it here. – Mengdi Liang Oct 16 '19 at 10:28
  • @MerlinLiang-MSFT, thanks for reaching out. I have decided to not use Databricks Workspace as an IDE. Instead, I will simply export Notebooks to my local drive and us Visual Studio upload files to Azure Devops repository – Carltonp Oct 16 '19 at 11:08
  • ok. If needed, you can use Fiddler to capture the analyze it firstly;-) – Mengdi Liang Oct 16 '19 at 11:20

Having had this raised by a customer recently, I've just run through the lab myself to see if I could replicate this error. I didn’t have any major issues but did notice a couple of things which may help.

I initially observed Error linking with Git, albeit with different error text but this may be an additional blocker worth investigating… Since this course material was written, Azure DevOps and GitHub no longer name the default branch as master for new repositories, and use main instead. Azure Databricks still seems to default to master as per your screenshot, so it might be worth checking this.

But in addition to the above, I would also double check that neither the “Link” nor “Path in Git Repo” fields contain the unexpected character identified in the second part of the error message:

Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)):

The instructions contain the following note:

Note
format of URL is
http://dev.azure.com/<myOrg>/<myProject>/_git/<myRepo>
which differs from the URL of the repo displayed in Azure DevOps
http://dev.azure.com/<myOrg>/_git/<myRepo>

I was able to reproduce your error by simply placing one or more of the < > braces around some of the strings which need replacing with your own values.
