unable to build IJulia due to "Conda is not properly configured"

[fpmenninger]

in Julia 1.5.3, 1.5.2 and 1.0.5 similar results... Not sure what else to try. Code is below. Thanks for help.

Try quitting Julia and restarting after build Conda. Then what does using Conda do?

[fpmenninger]

gives about the same error...

Is there a deps.jl file in E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\Conda\x5ml4\deps?

[fpmenninger]

No, there is no deps.jl file in the deps folder. (And thank you for the help.)

[stevengj]

That's weird, it's written by these lines of the build: https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/blob/dc1c1c77afe796f816a7fae29cacf87cacb56986/deps/build.jl#L50-L54

What is the log from build Conda?

[fpmenninger]

noticing that the only thing in the deps folder is the build.log ... and looking at other 'versions' in the Conda folder, the x5ml4 folder is also missing
the .github folder along with the .md, .yml and .toml files.

and the log file reads: ERROR: could not open file E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\Conda\x5ml4\deps\build.jl Stacktrace: [1] include at .\boot.jl:317 [inlined] [2] include_relative(::Module, ::String) at .\loading.jl:1044 [3] include(::Module, ::String) at .\sysimg.jl:29 [4] include(::String) at .\client.jl:392 [5] top-level scope at none:0

Wondering if there's something going on with having both Julia 1.0.5, which removes Updating E:\ProgramFiles\Julia\.julia\environments\v1.0\Manifest.toml [4c555306] - ArrayLayouts v0.3.8 [082447d4] - ChainRules v0.6.5 [d360d2e6] - ChainRulesCore v0.8.1 [7869d1d1] ↓ IRTools v0.4.1 ⇒ v0.3.3 [46d2c3a1] - MuladdMacro v0.2.2 [e88e6eb3] ↓ Zygote v0.4.22 ⇒ v0.4.8 whenever a package update is done, but then adds those packages back with "(v1.0) pkg> add Conda

[stevengj]

So E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\Conda\x5ml4\deps\build.jl doesn't exist?

Sounds like your installation got corrupted somehow? Maybe you need to delete your packages and re-install Julia?

[fpmenninger]

pkg> rm Conda then deleted the Conda folder pkg> add Conda pkg> build Conda and success. So, didn't need to reinstall Julia, but did need to delete and reinstall the Conda package. Thank you greatly!
