UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'pipelines_package' where it is not associated with a value about kedro HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @JenspederM, thanks for flagging this issue. Can I ask what your use case is for printing the result of find_pipelines()?

This method has been added to enable auto discovery of pipelines and does some stuff in the back to make sure your project and its modules are discoverable (https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/nodes_and_pipelines/pipeline_registry.html). It's meant to run as part of a "regular" Kedro flow where it's preceded by certain project setup methods. You can fix your script by calling bootstrap_project() before find_pipelines() (https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/kedro_project_setup/session.html#bootstrap-project-and-configure-project). However, I would only recommend doing that for exploration and not if you're planning to run that code in production.

Let me know if this makes sense!

Hi @merelcht,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using find_pipelines() to generate databricks assets bundle resources. I am working on a template for asset bundles that uses Kedro for defining pipelines and dependencies and databricks workflows for scheduling. You can find the project here

Thanks for the suggesting bootstrap_project(). For now, I have been using configure_project(<package-name>) as used in databricks_run.py in the databricks-iris starter.

You can see my exact usage right here

@merelcht

I have been thinking of making a cookiecutter for Kedro as well. Do you think there would be any interest in this?

I made the template based on my own experience of running large scale Databricks projects in production with many contributors of varying levels of experience.

I'd say, regardless of use case, raising an UnboundLocalError from internal code should not happen, but a more informative error instead.

Of course! When you get to do it, we can promote it on https://github.com/kedro-org/awesome-kedro

Also consider exploring https://github.com/copier-org/copier/, a modern alternative to cookiecutter
