Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

I recently started working on a Mac M1 Max with an ARM processor. Generally things work well, but occasionally I need to create a project that uses the Rosetta and the osx_64 architecture (pyFFTW is a current issue but there may be others). To do this, one typically sets the environmental variable CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 before running conda. (Btw, this is very poorly documented. It is not even listed in the docs.)

The problem is that I would like users to use anaconda-project run shell or similar to run programs, but unless the user sets the variable first, CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 anaconda-project run shell, there can be subtle issues, one of which I demonstrate here.

I tried setting the variable in appropriate variables: sections of the anaconda-project.yaml file, but these do not take affect until after the environment is active, which still causes problems related to environment resolution.

This specific issue is a bit artificial, and may indicate another underlying problem with resolution, but I think that it might be more robust if the variables in the variables: section are set first before conda is run, or perhaps another special section pre-variables: or something could be used (for backward compatibility).

Relevant configuration files

Minimal non-Working Example

anaconda-project run shell
python -c "import ssl"

This builds the environment. Requiring the CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 is not ideal, but somewhat reasonable in the preparation stage (which I hide in a Makefile). The slightly convoluted thing I do here is to use pip or another like PDM or Poetry to install requirements (in this case matlpotlib) and this is somehow causing the issue. If I include these pip dependencies in a - pip: section of the dependencies: then everything works, but I want to use one of these external tools to manage dependencies in pyproject.toml (see the discussion in #332).

The actual issue arises when I try to run something as a user without setting CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64.

anaconda-project run shell ```bash $ anaconda-project run shell Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): ...working... done Solving environment: ...working... done ## Package Plan ## environment location: /Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86 added / updated specs: - conda-forge::pyfftw The following packages will be SUPERSEDED by a higher-priority channel: openssl pkgs/main/osx-64::openssl-1.1.1s-hca7~ --> pkgs/main/osx-arm64::openssl-1.1.1s-h1a28f6b_0 Downloading and Extracting Packages Preparing transaction: ...working... done Verifying transaction: ...working... done Executing transaction: ...working... done ```

When one omits the CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 (even though it is specified in the environment variables: section), the resolution engine somehow decides that decides that the osx-64 version of openssl should be replaced by the arm64 version. This breaks the environment by mixing architectures:

python -c "import ssl" ```bash $ python -c "import ssl" Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/lib/python3.9/ssl.py", line 99, in import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate ImportError: dlopen(/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload/_ssl.cpython-39-darwin.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: '@rpath/libssl.1.1.dylib' Referenced from: '/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload/_ssl.cpython-39-darwin.so' Reason: tried: '/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload/../../libssl.1.1.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), '/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload/../../libssl.1.1.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), '/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/bin/../lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), '/Users/mforbes/tmp/python/arm/envs/x86/bin/../lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (arm64), need (x86_64))), '/usr/local/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libssl.1.1.dylib' (no such file) ```

Workarounds

There are several workarounds.

  1. Install everything in the dependences: (or packages:) section of the anaconda-project.yaml file, with pip dependencies in the appropriate section: 
    # anaconda-project.yaml
...
dependencies:
- python=3.9
- conda-forge::pyfftw
- pip
- pip:
  - matplotlib
....

    This seems to work.

  2. Make sure that the user sets CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 before running anything: 
    CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-64 anaconda-project run shell

    This is not good though: I don't want to have to remember which projects require this. The whole point of using anaconda-project for me is that I can just do apr shell and I am good to go. (I alias apr=anaconda-project run).

Let me know if you need more details. This is a pretty elusive bug. I am not sure why the resolution engine is preferring the arm64 version and could imagine that this stops at some point when things are updated. Also, one needs an ARM machine to test:-/

I think the easiest solution is to provide some way of setting the variables defined in variables: before doing the resolution.

Thanks for the detailed report. Yes, variables: are only set after an environment has been prepared.

It seems like pyfftw has since been built for osx-arm64

But there are other packages where this will happen. Is this project intended to only work on Mac osx-64? I would worry about forcing CONDA_SUBDIR to be set if someone on linux or windows attempted to run it they would have many other issues.

I like your use of a makefile here. So it would look like? There may be challenges with windows here.

ifneq ($(OS), Windows_NT)
  SHELL = /bin/bash
  UNAME_S := $(shell uname -s)
  ifeq ($(UNAME_S), Darwin)
    CONDA_SUBDIR = osx-64
  endif
endif

shell:
    CONDA_SUBDIR=$(CONDA_SUBDIR) anaconda-project run $(SHELL)

You may find that conda-project supports this use case a little better.

For instance conda-project
