Links to nested notebook snapshots not loading
I have notebooks in which I run multiple other notebooks via mssparkutils.notebook.run(), which works fine. However, when I want to see snapshots of the sub-runs, the links aren't loading in the top-level snapshot, which looks like this:
(Don't mind the printed stuff, that's from me.)
What can I do?
I'm sorry to have no better answer, but the issue disappeared yesterday. It takes quite a while to load the fancier new snapshot link layout with the progress bar and such, but it just works. The ticket is thus closed.

Hi NotebookEnjoyer,
Thank you for the clarification. Since the snapshot links for mssparkutils.notebook.run() were working earlier and have recently stopped, this could be due to a platform-level regression.
I recommend raising a support ticket with Microsoft Fabric Support for deeper investigation, as they can access backend logs and confirm if any recent updates have impacted this functionality.

Thank you.
I have submitted a ticket and will post an update if anything comes of it.
This is not possible to get the snapshots of sub-runs. The correct way is to run with mssparkutils.notebook.run().
I think you're missing the point. I AM running the notebooks with mssparkutils.notebook.run(), and seeing the snapshots of these delegated runs worked fine until one or two months ago.

I think you have to understand that Microsoft is constantly updating the documentation. First, I think so before a year ago, there was bronze, silver and gold. Now they change the silver to Materialized views.
