Setup trouble with miniconda2 (using the root environment)

[maxseidler]

After installing sublime-text-conda, the Package Control Message says:

sublime-text-conda assumes that conda can be found in Anaconda's default install path. If the install path was changed when installing Anaconda or if you're using Miniconda, sublime-text-conda's settings will need to be changed in Preferences -> Package Settings -> Conda

So made the following changes in the conda.sublime user settings:

{
    "executable": "/Applications/miniconda2/bin/python2.7",
    "environment_directory": "/Applications/miniconda2/envs"
}

'Conda' is selected as the Build System. But running any Conda command from the Sublime Text Command Palette only results in the error message No Active Conda Environment

Things I have tried:

1. Verifying that the file paths stated above are correct
2. Setting up a Conda Enviroment (cloned root) and activated it

Whatever I tried I only get a No Active Conda Environment message. I did extensive googling but couldn't find anything on this issue, so its probably my fault. I am out of my wit though.

Thanks for reporting this and sorry to hear about your troubles. Could you show me the result of running conda info in terminal?

[maxseidler]

Thanks for the response. Here is the result of running conda info in the terminal:

Nothing seems out of the ordinary. When you try Conda: Create Environment, is there any output in the debug console? You can access this console on the menu bar via View -> Show Console.

[maxseidler]

Oh, interesting. I was able to create a new Conda environment via Sublime. And when I executed Conda: Activate Environment it showed me the newly created and the environment from yesterday, so it definitely knows where to look. After activation I was able to Conda: List Packages, etc.

I only wonder if it is possible to work with the root environment since that is the only one I am actually using. Can I somehow activate the root environment?

Thank you for your kind help so far.

[mandeep]

Currently only created conda environments are available for use. I'll start working on a new release that includes the root environment. Hopefully I can tag a new release later today.

[maxseidler]

Awesome, thank you very much.

[mandeep]

@maxseidler I've tagged a new release of sublime-text-conda that adds the root environment as an environment that is able to be activated. Package Control should automatically update your package shortly. Please let me know if you run into any issues using it. 😃

[maxseidler]

Very cool, thank you for this update!

[mandeep]

No problem!
