below is the code block through which i generating data docs but i am not able to filter the validation result through data asset. Additionally i am not able to see profiler info on the data doc

data\_asset\_name = ‘test’

dataframe\_datasource = context.sources.add\_or\_update\_spark(  
name=table\_name,  
)  
dataframe\_asset = dataframe\_datasource.add\_dataframe\_asset(  
name= data\_asset\_name,  
dataframe=df,  
)  
batch\_request = dataframe\_asset.build\_batch\_request()  
print(batch\_request)  
validator = context.get\_validator(  
batch\_request=batch\_request,  
expectation\_suite\_name=expectation\_suite\_name,  
)  
validator = context.get\_validator(  
batch\_request=batch\_request,  
expectation\_suite\_name=expectation\_suite\_name  
)

#validate the data  
results = validator.validate()  
checkpoint = context.add\_or\_update\_checkpoint(  
name=checkpoint\_name,  
validator=validator,  
)  
checkpoint\_result = checkpoint.run()

context.build\_data\_docs()

I don’t have a solution but I replicated this and don’t have the asset name in Data Docs either.

The asset name is not listed on the validation page either

I can see the data asset name in the validation just fine so that’s not the problem

is there any workaround for this, can we pass the asset name manually before building data docs or in while batch request

I’ll take a look at this tomorrow  
Someone from the GX staff might also have some ideas, hopefully they check out this thread.

Hey all, I believe this was previously answered here: [Asset Name not shown in Data Docs](https://discourse.greatexpectations.io/t/asset-name-not-shown-in-data-docs/1300)

Please take a look to see if that resolves the issue!

Thanks @nevintan !

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get this working with the `batch_spec_passthrough` but got an error instead.

Here’s my code:

```auto
checkpoint = context.add_or_update_checkpoint(
    name="example checkpoint",
    batch_request={
        'datasource_name': 'example',
        'data_asset_name': 'fruits',
        'batch_spec_passthrough': {
            'data_asset_name': "fruits",
        },
    },
    expectation_suite_name="example suite",
)

```

This results in example\_checkpoint.yml looking like this:

```auto
...
batch_request:
  datasource_name: example
  data_asset_name: fruits
  batch_spec_passthrough:
    data_asset_name: fruits
...

```

Is this correct? As far as I can tell, this matches Example 1 from the mentioned thread.

However, running `checkpoint.run()` throws a `ValidationError`, stack trace below.

Hey,

I’ve also encountered this issue and it appears that the root cause, is that the data docs renderer is not aware of all potential locations for: “data\_asset\_name”.

Similarly to others, when using a fluent Spark datasource and .build\_batch\_request() the asset name is neither in “batch\_spec” or “batch\_kwargs” in the validation result’s meta section.

Just as a proof of concept the following amendment to GX code shows the expected asset name just fine for me in the data docs 🙂

```python
# from: great_expectations/render/renderer/site_builder.py : 959

validation_success = validation.success
batch_kwargs = validation.meta.get("batch_kwargs", {})
batch_spec = validation.meta.get("batch_spec", {})
# added
active_batch_def = validation.meta.get("active_batch_definition", {})

self.add_resource_info_to_index_links_dict(
    asset_name=batch_kwargs.get("data_asset_name")
    or batch_spec.get("data_asset_name")
    # added
    or active_batch_def.get("data_asset_name"),
)

```

I’m sure there will be other ammendments needed beyond this, but hopefully this is a useful starting point for the actual fix

Thanks @aslic for the workaround but when i navigated to great\_expectations/render/renderer/ directory its empty. I have set up gx in databricks environment and every time i can see these folders but they are empty

That’s odd @roger67, I have no idea why that is, perhaps somebody from GX can shed some light.

In my particular use case I’m not going to use an adjustment to the library code to fix. I just wanted to raise it to the GX team.

But if I do manage to figure out an actual workaround I’m happy to use in my code in the meantime, I will update here.
