micromamba is not recognized as an internal or external command 2.0.0

[ktsitsi]

Yesterday we noticed a failure in our CI only on the windows-latest runner where we were getting the following error:

'"C:\Users\runneradmin\micromamba\condabin\micromamba"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

using the mamba-org/setup-micromamba@v1. while running a simple pre-commit check using the env.

Run micromamba run -n test pre-commit run -a

Taking a look at the logs the only difference we notice is that micromamba info was now fetching

libmamba version : 2.0.0
micromamba version : 2.0.0

We were able to resolve by pinning to mamba-org/[email protected] with the micromamba-version: 1.5.10-0 following similar approach as commented in https://github.com/mamba-org/setup-micromamba/issues/225

Was hoping mamba=2.0.1 would fix this (there was a fix for a windows bug on mamba activate), but that doesn't seem to be case. Not sure if this is a problem on setup-micromamba's end or regular mamba's end?

EDIT: It's being tracked here: https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/3478

i would expect that this is a micromamba issue. wdyt @jjerphan?

[jjerphan]

It is. There's a problem with the activation script on Windows as of micromamba 2.0. We are currently addressing the problem.

[jjerphan]

2.0.2 is being released and should fix this issue.

[jeremyleung521]

2.0.2 is being released and should fix this issue.

Thank you! Just have to wait for micromamba-releases to update, then should be able to test!

[jeremyleung521]

I just updated to v2 (2.0.2) and still having the same problem... :/ Though this time, it's failing in the 'pip' section of the environment file.

 Or to execute a single command in this environment, use:
  
      micromamba run -n test mycommand
  
  warning  libmamba You are using 'pip' as an additional package manager.
      Be aware that packages installed with 'pip' are managed independently from 'conda-forge' channel.

EDIT: It's this bug: https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/3467.

[jjerphan]

#234 resolved the cause of the problem.

Updating setup-micromamba to 2.0.0 should resolve the issue.

Unfortunately it doesn't :( It works fine installing the conda packages, but I eventually get to the same error while trying to install the pip packages from the environment file. It's this error: https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/3467.

I don't really know if this is good or not, but as a temporary fix, I copied the already existing mamba.bat to micromamba.bat inside the directory provided in the error, and was able to install packages from pip.

e.g. in my case I got this error:

'"C:\Users\ika\AppData\Roaming\mamba\condabin\micromamba"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
critical libmamba pip failed to install packages

In PowerShell, I did the following

PS C:\> cd C:\Users\ika\AppData\Roaming\mamba\condabin
PS C:\Users\ika\AppData\Roaming\mamba\condabin> ls

    Directory: C:\Users\ika\AppData\Roaming\mamba\condabin

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name

-a---          2024/10/29    18:02            142 activate.bat

-a---          2024/10/29    18:02            851 mamba.bat
PS C:\Users\ika\AppData\Roaming\mamba\condabin> cp mamba.bat micromamba.bat

Then I went back to the original directory, reran the micromamba create env command and everything worked fine.

This is a little perplexing though because on the surface it looks like the installer script copies a micromamba.bat file into the install location though... https://github.com/mamba-org/setup-micromamba/blob/617811f69075e3fd3ae68ca64220ad065877f246/src/shell-init.ts#L40

But this copyMambaBatToMicromambaBat function does not seem to be getting called anywhere in the codebase...so not sure what's going on

This still happens in our CI: https://github.com/pydata/sparse/actions/runs/11721178880/job/33114861510?pr=805

[jjerphan]

Can you let us know if using micromamba 2.0.4 and setup-micromamba 2.0.2 fixed this problem?

[jjerphan]

I confirm that this has been resolved by micromamba 2.0.4 and setup-micromamba 2.0.2.

See the logs on my fork of https://github.com/pydata/sparse/pull/816.

[ktsitsi]

@jjerphan The issue on our end is fixed now.

[mtsokol]

Can you let us know if using micromamba 2.0.4 and setup-micromamba 2.0.2 fixed this problem?

It's also fixed in pydata/sparse. Thank you!
