Config to specify conan executable path

[clxyder]

Hello!

I would like to request we add the ability to configure the path to the conan executable.

I am running into the issue that the spawned shell cannot find my conan command when it tries to execute a command.

Hello! I was able to successfully specify a conan path with the branch I just pushed. I added a future functionality to specify profiles directory as well, but it currently does nothing.

Hi Michael do you have documentation on how to specify the path to conan?

Hi Michael do you have documentation on how to specify the path to conan?

How to configure the plugin please have a look here: https://github.com/disroop/vs-code-conan/blob/master/docs/configure.adoc

Does that help?

[clxyder]

I believe what I worked on for this PR was to specify the path to a specific conan executable. I am not sure if I am not seeing that configuration and/or documentation.

[mymichu]

Ahh I understand what you mean.. instead having the Conan executable in the path you would like to configure it?

I will reopen this issue. I had to refactor a lot of the code and I changed the concept a little bit. But if that is your request this should be an easy change.

I should have been more specific when I submitted the PR. Thank you very much!

Could this be a similar issue to the one about the plugin not working when conan is in a virtual environment (https://github.com/disroop/vs-code-conan/issues/159)?

• when I have conan in a virtual environment, I just get the error message "conan: not found" - which suggests that this plugin isn't looking at the selected virtual environment to do the path search to find conan?
