Hey everyone,
I am trying to run Fabric Notebooks using Synapse VS code. I followed the documentation step by step. When I execute the notebook, I am getting this error:
What am I missing here?
Appreciate all kinds of help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jashfabric
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
While adding the Synapse VS code extension into your Visual Studio, there are some prerequisites which have to be installed in your local desktop. If you install those prerequisites successfully, then extension will auto create the synapse-spark-kernel and install pyspark and other packages. You will able to find this environment after installing all the prerequisites.
Maybe you have installed conda, but forgot to set the environment variable.
When you activate the extension, it will show the initialization progress and output in output channel like this:
Please refer this document for installing the prerequisites : Link1
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further queries.
