databricks/cli v1.8.0 on GitHub

Release v1.8.0 (2026-07-15)

Auto-migrate a bundle from terraform to the direct engine when bundle.engine is "direct" (or DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_ENGINE=direct) and the post-deploy dry-run migration is clean; a warning is emitted if the dry-run surfaces errors or warnings so the automatic migration is skipped.

experimental ssh connect: bare python/pip in an interactive session now resolve to the environment interpreter ($DATABRICKS_VIRTUAL_ENV) instead of the system or cluster-libraries interpreter, so packages installed in the environment are importable without extra setup. The interactive shell is now non-login (bash -i) and the server seeds a ~/.bashrc snippet that re-prepends the environment's bin directory to PATH (#5888).
When Claude Code runs the CLI without the Databricks AI tooling installed, the CLI now prints a one-line recommendation on stderr to run databricks aitools install. The recommendation is shown at most once per hour per Claude session, and never for human callers or aitools commands.
Fixed databricks auth describe misattributing a profile selected via DATABRICKS_CONFIG_PROFILE as (from bundle) when run inside a bundle root (#5904).

bundle generate now warns when the generated configuration file is not matched by any pattern in the include section of databricks.yml (#5868).
direct: Match UC Auto Upgrade managed property defaults with a wildcard pattern instead of enumerating each key (#5877).
Recognize ssh:// template URLs in databricks bundle init (#5891).
databricks bundle init now reports an actionable error when given a template URL with an unsupported protocol (http://, git://, ftp://, ftps://) instead of failing with a confusing "not a bundle template" message (#5902).
Added an env: section to scripts.<name> for declaring environment variables that may reference ${bundle.*}, ${workspace.*}, and ${var.*} (#4179, #5299).
