Upon executing genv activate I get:

No idea where it stems from, but it looks like it's some genv and/or environment issue, hence the issue here. I have genv installed via conda command and it's version is 1.2.0.

hey @eyildiz-ugoe and thanks for reaching out! it seems like the issue is with decoding the state files (more info here).

did you have Genv installed in a previous version anytime? if so, it might be related.

can you pls paste here the output of the command:

ls -la ${GENV_TMPDIR:-/var/tmp/genv}

and if you are ok with resetting the state of Genv, this might solve the issue. if you don't have any environment running at the moment then you should not be afraid. you can manually delete the directory /var/tmp/genv or use the following commands:

genv envs --reset
genv devices --reset

pls lmk if it helped!

This: ls -la ${GENV_TMPDIR:-/var/tmp/genv}

returns:

Manually deleting /var/tmp/genv directory (requires sudo rights) worked for me. Thanks for the rapid response!
