DAB for Dashboard throws error: dashboard resource has no file path defined

[nihil0]

Describe the issue

I am unable to edit a dashboard and sync it with the local version in the asset bundles src directory with the --watch switch.

Configuration

bundle:
  name: my_dashboard

include:
  - resources/*.yml

variables:
  warehouse_id:
    type: string

targets:
    dev: ...

And the resource YAML looks like

resources:
  dashboards:
    my_dashboard:
      display_name: "My Dashboard"
      warehouse_id: 123456abcd
      file_path: ../src/my_dashboard.lvdash.json

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Running databricks bundle generate dashboard --existing-path /Workspace/Users/me/my_dashboard.lvdash.json --watch throws: Error: if any flags in the group [watch existing-path] are set none of the others can be; [existing-path watch] were all set

Running the databricks bundle generate dashboard --resource my_dashboard --watch throws Error: dashboard resource "my_dashboard" has no file path defined

Expected Behavior

Databricks continuously syncs the dashboard to the json file in src

Actual Behavior

Error messages that prevent syncing

OS and CLI version

Databricks CLI v0.254.0
MacOS Sequoia 15.5

Is this a regression?

This is probably a bug becuase looking at the tfstate file in the Databricks Workspace files shows that the file path is set to null, and the state actually contains the serialized dashboard

Confirming, exact same error here, Databricks CLI 0.254.0. However, I am not using the --watch switch. I am adding databricks bundle generate dashboard --resource "resource_name" as part of a Makefile task to update our version controlled definition of a dashboard after a user makes modifications in the UI.

@nihil0 @kyleries, I am able to reproduce the issue. Thank you for reporting it, we'll work on a patch.

The fix for this was released in CLI v0.255.0.
