I had problem with using Feast with Jupyter Sever on my Kubeflow platform. I prepared my feast-ish definitions and got error:

during executing command

feast apply

I realised that in feature_repo is hidden directory .ipynb_checkpoints which is cause of problem.
After deleting it, my problem have gone.

Describe the solution you'd like
Feast during executing command:

feast apply

should ignore hidden directory .ipynb_checkpoints

Same issue here, deleting .ipynb_checkpoints folder fixed the error message.

Should be able to use the .feastignore file to ignore the jupyter files
