Cannot download Notebook script as Python file (.py)

[VoltesDev]

Hi, 

When we download script as Python, is there some limitation or rule, since happened just now that it was said downloaded as the notification shown, but there is no file downloaded.

But I've downloaded the same script couple of time before (few days before) and it has no issue. The .Py file is appearead in my Download folder. I've tried to sign-out and re-login to Fabric but same issue.

Strangely, if I choose other type like Jupiter Notebook (.jpynb) or html, download is correct, and it is not only notification appeared, but the download information including the Open Location of the file.

Or there is a bug with download as Python ?

Thanks,

Hi @VoltesDev  I am experiencing the same issue, were you able to resolve this? I am able to download empty notebooks as .py files but for notebooks with code when I try to download as .py file I get the notification that the file is downloaded but there is no file downloaded. Whereas if I try to download notebook as .html, .tex or .ipynb file, it works fine.

Hi @VoltesDev 

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft forum community. 

Regarding your query on not being able to download the Notebook script as a Python file (.py), please follow the steps below to resolve the issue: 

• Update the Platform:
  Ensure you are using the latest version of Microsoft Fabric. Check for updates, as downloading issues are sometimes resolved in newer releases. 
• Verify Permissions:
  Confirm that you have the necessary permissions to download Python scripts. Check with your organization or workspace administrator to ensure no restrictions are in place. 
• Sensitive Information:
  Consider if the Python script contains sensitive information that might restrict its download. Some organizations have policies in place to prevent the download of certain files containing sensitive data. 
• Browser Troubleshooting: 
  Clear your browser's cache and cookies to remove any corrupted data that might interfere with downloads. Try downloading the script using a different browser to see if the issue is browser specific. 
• Check Local File System:
  Ensure there are no issues with your local file system, such as insufficient storage or restricted download directories. Verify that downloads are being saved in the expected folder. 
• Test on a Different Device:
  Download the Python script on another device to determine if the problem is specific to your current setup. 
• Recreate the Environment:
  Create a new notebook or workspace in Microsoft Fabric and attempt to download the script. This can help identify if the problem is tied to a particular environment or project. 
• Contact Microsoft Fabric Support:
  If the issue persists, reach out to Microsoft Fabric Support for assistance. They can provide specific guidance and may offer a fix or workaround. Use the following links to contact support:

Hi v-saisrao-msft

Preview

May I know what is Fabric platform updates ? As I assumed as this cloud based platform, we do not need to update, but I'm maybe wrong.

About the permission, I have admin account, and tried to sign out and sign in again, however it is still no file downloaded although the notificiation says it does.

And I don't think it is regarding sensitive information since we haven't maintained it yet, also this is just plain business process data with no GDPR or such. And I suceeded to download it before, only now it is not succeeded. Also it is suceeded to download in other type o file (jpynb, html).

Thanks
