Unable to Execute a Fabric Notebook in a Fabric Pipeline

[caplogic]

Hello Community,

This is probably silly question but can someone first please confirm that they have managed to execute a Fabric Notebook in a pipeline? I'm sure the answer to this question is YES.

Therefore, can someone please let me know why everytime I attempt to execute a Fabric notebook via a Pipeline I get the following error message:

Notebook execution failed at Notebook service with http status code - '200', please check the Run logs on Notebook, additional details - 'Error name - Exception, Error value - Failed to create Livy session for executing notebook. Error: {"code":"BadRequest","subCode":0,"message":"Encountered internal error while calling TokenProvider to get obo token. The return code is BadRequest, and no error details was provided.","timeStamp":"2026-04-22T11:12:08.3714474Z","httpStatusCode":500,"hresult":-2146233088,"details":[{"code":"RootActivityId","message":"1aff178c-4c62-46d8-910f-de7716b0a8a9"},{"code":"ErrorSource","message":"Fabric/Core Platform AuthNZ and Metadata"}],"exceptionCategory":0} HTTP status code: 500.' :

My setup is very simple see image

This is truly baffling to me.

Hello,

In the Notebook activity settings, the first setting "Connection" is optional. If your Pipeline and Notebook are in the same workspace then the "Connection" is not at all mandatory. Just remove the "Connection" setting and run. It should work. 

It looks like the issue is with Fabric Trails only.

I wrote an article on the same here 🙂

Hello @caplogic can you please elaborate on how you get the notebook added to the pipeline from within the notebook itelf? it's driving me crazy.

Hi @arabalca thanks for getting in touch. 

I have managed to get it to work by adding the Notebook to the pipeine from within the Notebook itself.

I was experiencing this problem only when I added the Notebook from within the pipeline via an Activity

[praveensreeram]

Invoking the Notebook works absolutely file in a normal Fabric CApacity. However, it fails (while creating the Livy session for executing the notebook with Encountered internal error while calling TokenProvider to get obo token error)

Is it something to do with Trail Fabric Capacity?

Anyone comments?

[caplogic]

Absolutely nothing to do with Trial Capacity

Hello,

Can you please elaborate on how you got it working by adding the notebook to the pipeline from within the notebook itself? How do you do this?

I'm experience the same problem and it's driving me crazy.

[caplogic]

Simply, go into the notebook, and as I mentioned in my Screen select 'Add to Pipeline' and choose the pipeline you want to add the notebook to.

Good luck.

Hi @caplogic ,

Not a silly question at all — yes, running a Notebook from a pipeline absolutely works!

The error message itself gives you the clue: "please check the Run logs on Notebook"

You have two main places:

1. From the Pipeline Monitor: Go to your workspace → Monitor → select the failed run → click on the Notebook activity → you'll see the full error detail with the complete stack trace.

2. From the Notebook itself: Open the Notebook → in the top bar you'll find the run history → select the failed run triggered by the pipeline → there you have the logs cell by cell and the exact Livy/Spark error.

Official documentation:

• Monitor Data Pipeline: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/monitor-pipeline-runs 
• Monitor Spark applications  : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-engineering/spark-detail-monitoring 

Once you check the logs in detail, the specific error you're describing points to an authentication token (OBO) issue — but let's tackle that in a second step once the logs confirm it.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
