CLI Claims Success Writing Downloaded DLT Pipeline Despite Pipeline Name Being Incompatible With File System

[LeightonRJones]

Describe the issue

The CLI will use verbatim the name of the pipeline as a filename when downloading and claim success, even if the pipeline has a character (eg ':' on Windows) that is incompatible with the file-system it's saving to.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a pieline, and in DLT task put a ':' in the name. EG: 'Test DLT: First Test'
2. Use the CLI on Windows:
   databricks bundle generate pipline --existing-pipline-id [ref]

Expected Behavior

Either;

1. The downloaded workbook is renamed using a FS compatible replacement character - eg 'Test DLT_ First Test'
2. or the download fails and moans about an incompatible character (less desirable)

Actual Behavior

The CLI claims success:
File successfully saved to src\Test DLT: First Test.sql

OS and CLI version

Windows 10, CLI v0.241.2

Is this a regression?

Don't know.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Does it actually save a file, and if so, what's the filename you see on disk?

We should look into the filename normalization logic.

Hi Pieter, Nothing gets written to disk. I wanted to put this screengrab in the report but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks! [cid:f3cf474d-dab5-4707-ad1f-cc96139c400d]
