kedro new includes empty data_science folder in pipelines

[yury-fedotov]

Description

kedro new includes empty data_science folder in pipelines even if I say to not include a pipeline example during kedro new workflow.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Initialize kedro new with all defaults except pyspark, and reply no when it asks about example pipeline
2. See that an empty data_science folder in pipelines has been created as part of the project

Expected Result

It should not be created.

Your Environment

• Kedro version used (pip show kedro or kedro -V): 0.19.6
• Python version used (python -V): 3.10
• Operating system and version: MacOS

Hi @yury-fedotov, thanks for reporting this issues. I tried to reproduce the issue and can see there's an empty data_science folder inside tests/pipelines/. This should indeed not be there. Feel free to open a PR to fix this, but otherwise the team will take it on.

Actually this was quite a small change so I've opened a PR for it here: #3956

@yury-fedotov can you confirm you are also talking about the tests directory?

[yury-fedotov]

Hi @merelcht ! nope, actually this is not at all related to tests. In my case I got generated in pipelines folder as if it is an example pipeline.

Just an empty folder named data_science (not even a Python package, i.e. had no __init__.py inside).

@yury-fedotov in that case can you specify how you created the project? I did kedro new --name=reprtest --example=no --tools=lint,test,viz,data,log,docs and the same through the interactive flow, but I don't get a data_science folder in src/pipelines only in tests as I mentioned before.

@merelcht hey! Sorry I disappeared for a while. So I did another check and you were right: the bug I described exists but only in tests. See here:

It it kedro 0.19.6 and I did a test on Jun 29 2024.

#3956 should close it, so whenever it gets released, this bug should be gone.

Thanks for fixing it!

I am closing this issue as resolved.
