What causes DATABRICKS_APPS_NOT_FOUND?

The app name in the API request or job task is misspelled or uses the wrong case. The app was deleted manually or by an automated cleanup process. The API call targets the wrong workspace (wrong host or token). The app was never successfully deployed and exists only in a failed state

How do I fix DATABRICKS_APPS_NOT_FOUND?

Step 1: List existing apps in the workspace using the Databricks Apps API: GET /api/2.0/apps.. Step 2: Confirm the app name in the failing job or API call exactly matches the deployed app name.. Step 3: If the app was deleted, redeploy it from source code or the Databricks UI.. Step 4: Check that the API client uses the correct workspace URL and a token scoped to the right workspace.. Step 5: Add error handling in orchestration jobs so that a missing app triggers an alert rather than a silent failure.

Frequently asked questions

Can I restore a deleted Databricks App?

No. Deleted apps cannot be recovered from the Databricks platform. You must redeploy from your source code repository or backup configuration.

How do I prevent apps from being accidentally deleted?

Apply workspace-level permissions to restrict DELETE access to apps, and automate redeployment from a CI/CD pipeline so recovery is fast if deletion does occur.
