Improve auth token UX: profile selection and better empty-state handling - #4584
Merged
Conversation
…dling When `databricks auth token` is invoked with no arguments, replace the raw host prompt with smarter resolution: 1. Check DATABRICKS_HOST env var (highest priority) 2. Check DATABRICKS_CONFIG_PROFILE env var 3. Interactive mode: show a profile selector with "Enter host manually" and "Create new profile" options 4. Non-interactive mode: clear error messages guiding users to --profile or databricks auth login Existing behavior (--profile, --host, positional args) is unchanged. Also extracts applyUnifiedHostFlags helper to reduce duplication, simplifies test context handling, and adds acceptance tests for the non-interactive no-args cases.

When selecting "Create a new profile" from the interactive profile picker, run the login flow inline instead of returning an error. Also reorder the action items so "Create a new profile" appears before "Enter a host URL manually" to prioritize the more common path.

…dling (#4584) ## Summary When `databricks auth token` is invoked with no arguments, resolve through env vars (`DATABRICKS_HOST`, `DATABRICKS_CONFIG_PROFILE`) first, then show an interactive profile picker or a clear non-interactive error. This is part of us moving away from a host-focused auth experience, to a profile-focused auth experience ### Interactive profile picker ``` Search: █ Select a profile DEFAULT (https://e2-dogfood.staging.cloud.databricks.com) e2-demo-west (https://e2-demo-west.cloud.databricks.com) tilefood (https://eng-ml-agent-bricks-us-east-1.staging.cloud.databricks.com/) logfood (https://adb-2548836972759138.18.azuredatabricks.net/) Create a new profile Enter a host URL manually ``` **Item ordering rationale:** - Profiles are listed first — this is the primary use case (selecting an existing profile) - "Create a new profile" appears right after profiles — the natural next action when no existing profile fits - "Enter a host URL manually" is last — a legacy escape hatch for power users, de-prioritized in the "profile == identity" model **Search mode (`>5` profiles):** - Auto-activates search to let users find profiles quickly by name or host URL - Pasting a host URL from muscle memory still works — search matches against host strings - Typing "create" or "host" surfaces the action items **`<=5` profiles:** All items visible without scrolling, no search needed. ### "Create a new profile" runs login inline Selecting "Create a new profile" now runs the full `auth login` flow inline (prompt for profile name, prompt for host, OAuth browser challenge, save to `.databrickscfg`) and then returns the token — instead of printing an error telling the user to run a separate command. ### Non-interactive mode - `"no profile specified. Use --profile <name>"` (profiles exist) - `"no profiles configured. Run 'databricks auth login'"` (no profiles) ### Unchanged - Existing `--profile`, `--host`, and positional arg behavior ## Test plan - [x] Unit tests: 6 new test cases covering all non-interactive paths and env var resolution - [x] Acceptance tests: `no-args-with-profiles` and `no-args-no-profiles` - [x] All existing tests pass unchanged - [x] `make lintfull` and `make checks` pass - [x] Manual testing: interactive profile picker, env var resolution, existing flags - [x] Manual testing: "Create a new profile" inline login flow
