Description
Bug Description
It is taking about 20 seconds per artifact to export from a workspace to a local directory. Is this expected?
In interactive mode, I issued this command:
export DEV - ETL - Aaron.Workspace -a -f -o "c:\users\aaron.giust\downloads\fabric_export"
Even if I do just one artifact, it is still about 20 seconds. I was expecting less than a second per artifact.
fabric-cli version
1.3.1
Python version
3.12.7
Operating System
Windows
CLI Mode
Interactive mode
Authentication Method
Interactive browser login
Steps to Reproduce
From PowerShell CLI:
- fab config set mode interactive
- fab auth login
From Fabric CLI interactive:
- export DEV - ETL - Aaron.Workspace -a -f -o "c:\users\aaron.giust\downloads\fabric_export"
Expected Behavior
Each artifact exports in less than a second
Actual Behavior
Each artifact exports in about 20 seconds
