Deployment Pipeline Error Import failure: PyToIPynbFailure

Hello,

 

We've been using deployment pipelines for a couple months now with a few issues we've been able to figure out or workaround. Today, however, we are encountering a new error:

 

Import failure: PyToIPynbFailure. "Convert data from py to ipynb failed. Detail: PyToIPynb: the py format is not correct - The py content is not supported - prologue is invalid. Expected prologue: -- Fabric notebook source

 

Anyone seen this before and know of a cause/solution? This is a T-SQL notebook connected to a Warehouse.

 

Thanks in advance.

I think there was something up with the service. Am able to deploy our notebooks again. We made no changes to the notebooks or our environment.

Hi @ShikeMarples

 

I recommend submitting a ticket to Microsoft about this. I think T-SQL notebooks are not fully supported by deployment pipelines, but that is not documented anywhere.

Hi @ShikeMarples 

 

That is not something that I have seen before. What I would recommend doing is what happens if you create a new notebook and try send it through. What then happens?

Created a new workbook. Same error:

We experience the same issue while deploying to prod. But with normal basic notebooks. So is there an issue at MS side?

I have not seen this before and would recommend you contact support.

 

Or you could try a basic notebook and see if that works?
