How to activate a specific conda environment within the runner?

[mbilyanov]

Hi,

When inside tmux, the new pane invoked by vim-dispatch will use a default conda environment. Anyone using vim-dispatch inside a conda environment? Is there a way to activate a specific conda environment in the process started by vim-dispatch?

I have tried to call conda inside the command being passed to Start and Dispatch but with no success.

:Start conda activate myEnv && bokeh serve --show my_app

But conda throws bunch of complaints about the shell not being compatible etc.

Any ideas?

I'm aware this might be a conda issue. Just wondering if someone attempted the similar thing I'm attempting. I tried this:

tmux new-window -n:mywindow 'echo "__START__"; conda activate py37; echo "___END___"; sleep 5'

And I can confirm this is producing the same issue.

__START__

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.
