ValueError: Failed to format pattern '${xxx}': no config value found, no default provided

[stephanecollot]

Hello

With:
kedro 0.17.4
kedro-airflow-k8s 0.7.3
python 3.8.12

I have a templated catalog:

training_data:
  type: spark.SparkDataSet
  filepath: data/${folders.intermediate}/training_data
  file_format: parquet
  save_args:
    mode: 'overwrite'
  layer: intermediate

with the parameter set in my globals.yml

folders:
    intermediate: 02_intermediate

And when I run:
kedro airflow-k8s compile

I get the following error

I add the fact that kedro run works.

Do you have any hint?

[stephanecollot]

Sorry actually kedro run doesn't work.
So it is not coming from kedro-airflow-k8s

[stephanecollot]

Actually when I uninstall kedro-airflow-k8s then kedro run works again

[stephanecollot]

It seems that now with kedro-airflow-k8s-0.6.7

I can run kedro airflow-k8s compile and it works
But kedro run, still give the same error.

[em-pe]

@stephanecollot Thanks for reporting an issue. If I'm not wrong it's related to getindata/kedro-kubeflow#72 - @szczeles can you confirm?

[szczeles]

@em-pe Yep, it seems so. If we apply the same trick here, the issue should be gone.

@stephanecollot As a temporary workaround, you can try adding these lines into your project's settings.py:

import sys
if 'airflow-k8s' not in sys.argv:
    DISABLE_HOOKS_FOR_PLUGINS = ("kedro-airflow-k8s",)

If your code works with this hack, it's definitely same issue as getindata/kedro-kubeflow#72

[stephanecollot]

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I tried DISABLE_HOOKS_FOR_PLUGINS and kedro run works again.
