Solution

  • Don't use that SDK - it's deprecated. Instead, use the new Databricks Python SDK that has a built-in command to list objects recursively. Plus SDK also supports unified authentication, including implicit authentication when code is running in the notebook.

    Here is an example from the repository:

    from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient

w = WorkspaceClient()

# change this 
start_path = f'/Users/{w.current_user.me().user_name}'

names = []
for i in w.workspace.list(start_path, recursive=True):
    names.append(i.path)
