Description

Bug Description

Docs claim that fab cli offers full schema coverage for lakehouses. https://microsoft.github.io/fabric-cli/commands/tables/#:~:text=.-,Lakehouse,-(full%20support)

However, table load command fails while loading data to a schema-enabled lakehouse from /Files.

fabric-cli version

1.4.0

Python version

3.13.12

Operating System

Windows

CLI Mode

Interactive mode

Authentication Method

Interactive browser login

Steps to Reproduce

Create a schema-enabled lakehouse.

Use table load --file /Files/ command. It will error out reporting that schema-enabled lakehouses are not supported.

fab:/testworkspace.Workspace$ table load dummylh.Lakehouse/Tables/dummy --file dummylh.Lakehouse/Files/public_holidays.parquet --format form
at=parquet
Loading 'dummy' table. It may take some time...
x table load: [UnsupportedOperationForSchemasEnabledLakehouse] The operation is not supported for Lakehouse with schemas enabled

Expected Behavior

See Steps to reproduce section for the details.

Actual Behavior

See Steps to reproduce section for the details.

Additional Context

Ideally, I should be able to provide full lakehouse table path which includes // so that I can use table load command.
