Updating Python Packages in a Synapse Workspace (Preview) Spark Pool

Question

I've followed the steps outlined here exactly:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-synapse-analytics/add-manage-libraries-in-spark-pool-after-the-deployment/bc-p/1809603#M143

Namely, generate a requirements.txt file using py -m pip freeze > requirements.txt, and then upload that requirements.txt file to the spark pool under the packages folder in synapse workspace. Restarting sessions and getting a list of local packages should show that it picked up the requirements, but to date, I haven't been able to update pandas.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Turns out my issue was I named the file requirements with an s and it needed to be requirement without an s.
