Slim down default-minimal bundle template by janniklasrose · Pull Request #5899 · databricks/cli

janniklasrose · 2026-07-12T21:52:46Z

Changes

Slim down the "default-minimal" template to use during databricks bundle init by parameterizing the underlying template to python-specific vs generic content
Create an alias "empty"

Why

Related: #5953

Make it easier to get started with bundles: Running bundle generate requires a databricks.yml, and all the other existing templates created by bundle init add way more than needed for the workflow of:

databricks bundle init empty
databricks bundle generate ...

Tests

Updated tests for all three permutations of default-minimal

Manual:

% ./cli bundle init empty
Welcome to the minimal Declarative Automation Bundle template!

This template creates a minimal project structure without sample code, ideal for advanced users.
(For getting started with Python or SQL code, use the default-python or default-sql templates instead.)

Your workspace at https://dogfood.staging.databricks.com is used for initialization.
(See https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/cli/profiles.html for how to change your profile.)

Unique name for this project [my_project]:
Default catalog for any tables created by this project [main]:
Initial language for this project: skip

✨ Your new project has been created in the 'my_project' directory!

To get started, refer to the project README.md file and the documentation at https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/bundles/index.html.

maybe we can call it basic or empty?

No strong opinion. I think skeleton is pretty widely understood to be just the scaffolding, but empty might be more obvious to everyone.

We should first discuss if we need this if we also have default-minimal. And, if we do, if we shouldn't fold it into that template.

Per the DABs core eng weekly (2026-07-16), consolidate the empty template into default-minimal instead of shipping a separate template: - Remove the standalone empty template; add 'empty' as an alias of default-minimal so 'databricks bundle init empty' still works. - Simplify default-minimal: stop prompting for a personal schema (always use a personal dev schema) and reduce the language question to python/skip, since sql and other produced identical output. - Add a comment in the shared databricks.yml template guiding users on the catalog and schema variables.

…bricks.yml" This reverts commit aa5cdb2.

- Restore 'sql' alongside 'python' and 'skip' in default-minimal's language picker; derive .language directly from the choice instead of collapsing non-python to sql. - Gate the Python extras (pyproject.toml, tests/) on 'not python' rather than 'is sql' so 'skip' excludes them too; unchanged for default-python. - README: render 'SQL' for sql, 'Python' for python, and nothing for skip. - Drop the extra catalog/schema comment from the shared databricks.yml; the existing comment was sufficient.
