Hey,

Is it possible to have saved environment variable on windows, similar to how its described in the docs; http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html#saved-environment-variables

Yeah, follow the instructions but use a batch file instead (extension
of .bat and use SET to set the variables) and it should work just the
same.

Got a batch script in miniconda\envs\test\etc\conda\activate.d\env_vars.bat with this set MY_KEY=secret_key and miniconda\envs\test\etc\conda\deactivate.d\env_vars.bat with this set MY_KEY=.
Activated the environment and called echo %MY_KEY%, but I don’t get the value.

Sincerely,

Which version of conda are you using?

Sorry I’ve noticed the code is in the activate.bat. I think the problem is how I’m setting the environment for conda;

set PATH=%~dp0miniconda;%~dp0miniconda\Scripts

What else needs to be set for conda to be fully functional?

Your batch file should contain simply:

%~dpminiconda\Scripts\activate.bat test

Let me know if that works.

Gah, I missed a character, I meant:

%~dp0miniconda\Scripts\activate.bat test

Thanks for that, Ray :)

I can see the batch scripts being executed by having echo "Setting Environment" in the activate script, but the environments don’t get set for some reason.

I’ve tested the batch script outside of conda, and the environment variables get set so there shouldn’t be any problem with the batch script themselves.

I'm running out of ideas. If it printed the text and you don't have setlocal in your batch file the it should be fine. Which version of conda are you using? Try the latest from the conda channel (conda update conda conda-env -c conda should do it).

Please try with the latest which is 4.1.0rc3, to get it:

conda update conda conda-env -c conda

Running that only gets me updated to 4.0.6. Guessing it wouldn't have anything to do with installing conda with Miniconda?

Miniconda is fine, that's what I use. I think the win-64 version of 4.1.0rc3 hasn't been built yet. I'll reply when I know more.

This is something that got fixed recently. Conda 4.1 is probably necessary.

Any ETA on getting a 4.1 release?
