Microsoft Fabric Runtime not visible in visual studio Code
our goal is to develop pyspark notebooks on our local notebook using VS code while also using mssparkutils and the remote spark context.
so we followed these instructions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-engineering/setup-vs-code-extension meticulously and also configured a 1.3 Spark Cluster Environment in Fabric
however we cannot see the "Microsoft Fabric Runtime" as shown in this screenshot here:
Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-engineering/fabric-runtime-in-vscode
What can we do to troubleshoot?
The solution was to use the new synapse Remote vs Code extension:
Fabric Data Engineering VS Code - RemotePreview
the old Fabric Data Engineering VS Code extension didnt work anywhere in our team. especially not when it comes to remote executing spark on the new 1.3 spark cluster types supporting mssparkutils as part of the code
