Quick Question: Can't conda-minify be installed and used in non-`base` conda envs?

[davidleejy]

I installed conda-minify in a "non-base" conda env -- here arbitrarily named "gp". Activated env "gp" and tried to use conda-minify to no avail. Quick question: Can't conda-minify be installed and used in non-base conda envs?

(gp) $ conda-minify -n gp

  warnings.warn("Setuptools is replacing distutils.")

This project needs a major update which I haven't had time to do due to life (babies, etc.)

My plan is change how the behavior such that it will read a YAML file instead of pulling from the environment directly. This would bypass environment switching issues altogether.

For your particular error, conda-minify is looking for the gp environment in /Users/d/opt/anaconda3/envs/gp/envs/ instead of /Users/d/opt/anaconda3/envs/.

This is due to having Conda also installed in your gp environment. Can you run from the gp env:

conda config --show

And post the output?
