VS code help

Hey all

I have started experimenting with notebooks using VS code. I have setup all the pre requisites. But I am not able to use spark language in VS code. Should we download any external library to use the spark language? Or is this expected?

 

Appreciate your help.

Hi @jashfabric 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Apologies for the issue you have been facing. We haven't supported spark language in vscode. This is the reason why you are getting the error.
PySpark is the only language we support now. If you would like to use spark sql, you can run it via spark.sql('select * from ....').

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel, which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.
