@xmnlab , It gives error that conda or mamba should be init before activate/deactivate command. But I tried to init the shell but it still give same error.

Have you any suggestion?

xmnlab commented 7 months ago

Hi @abhijeetSaroha ! To be honest I had this issue before in different situations, but I don't know why. I am going to check with a friend from conda-forge to see if I can have some clues about that.

Thanks for working on that.

xmnlab commented 7 months ago

I will try to investigate it a bit tomorrow.

update: I will take a look into this tomorrow. I have more stuff in my backlog XD

@abhijeetSaroha , sorry .. I didn't have time to take a look into that yet, really sorry ... some bunch of problems are popping-up at work .. really sorry :(

but I would like to share some thoughts here:

so commonly, we use bash and we have it configure to have conda in the system path.
if we are using makim without any specific bash, it uses xonsh
so my first impression is that it is not the responsibility of makim to initialize conda for all the possible consoles, also because sometimes we are not using a console but a programming language

have you tested running the conda init for xonsh outside first? maybe also for sh as well .. to see if that would work. of course, after that, it is necessary to restart the console session

@abhijeetSaroha , when you have time, could you add a test for that?

@abhijeetSaroha , although this PR is a bit blocked, but just for the record, maybe another approach would be using pixi: https://prefix.dev/blog/introducing_multi_env_pixi

this is a very old PR .. but just to bring some ideas about this topic .. maybe we could use nox to intermediate this. in another words, I think we should create something like a plugin to nox and if the user wants to play with virtual environments, maybe the way to go would be via nox
