How to retrieve current notebook name

How to retrieve the current notebook name 

I don't want to hardcode it

  • You should be able to get a stack of useful info from the notebookutils.runtime.context structure.

    For example, executing the below:

    print(notebookutils.runtime.context['currentNotebookName'])

    returns to following imaginatively titled name;

    MyAwesomeNotebook

     
    The full list of things you can return is;

    'currentNotebookName', 'currentWorkspaceName', 'defaultLakehouseName', 'defaultLakehouseId', 'parentRunId', 'isReferenceRun', 'defaultLakehouseWorkspaceId', 'hcReplId', 'activityId', 'defaultLakehouseWorkspaceName', 'currentWorkspaceId', 'referenceTreePath', 'clusterId', 'poolName', 'environmentId', 'currentNotebookId', 'userId', 'environmentWorkspaceId', 'userName', 'currentRunId', 'isForPipeline', 'rootRunId'

  • Based on my understanding, Microsoft Fabric doesn’t provide an automatic way to get the current notebook name from within the notebook interface.

    You need to either manually pass the notebook id or hardcode the notebook name
