Hey everyone!

I am getting the following error with kedro and I am not sure why conf/base is under site packages

*Context:* I am trying to run a job in Databricks based off the .whl file packaged by Kedro:

*Kedro Version:* 0.18.3
*Error:* `ValueError: Given configuration path either does not exist or is not a valid directory: /databricks/driver/conf/base`

Hi <@U04DPSGP1HP>! Let's see if we can help you. I noted you asked a similar question earlier. Is that solution failing?

Other things I have seen other teams do is:
• Move `conf` into `src` 
• Update `settings.py` with the new location 
And then `kedro package` will package your `conf` because it's there. It's not the best solution because it means you can't update your configuration. <https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/1908|We will be working on a way to do this from the CLI. >

Hey Shawn, we've addressed this issue in our latest release of Kedro. Please upgrade your project to 0.18.5 and use the `--conf-source` flag for a `kedro run`, it will allow you to specify a source for project configuration for the run.
