Pip-packages do not get exported

[JohannesWiesner]

Both the exported .yml file and the spec-file (.txt) should include pip-packages:

• Export .yml files with pip-packages (re-opened)
• Export .txt files (exact package URLs) with pip-packages. See pip-installed packages not in "conda list --explicit" conda/conda#8372

Does this help?

For the Windows job, we have to rely on conda:

If you rely on pip dependencies being added to the export, then you need to call conda (which can be done on windows runners with /c/Miniconda/_conda.exe env export ...)

[JohannesWiesner]

I think generally, with micromamba, pip-packages get ignored (also for the .yml file). We generally should use conda commands. Something like (?):

if [ "$RUNNER_OS" == "Windows" ]; then
  /c/Miniconda/_conda.exe env export -p "${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX}/envs/${{ matrix.os }}" | grep -v "^prefix: " > ./environments/csp_${{ matrix.os }}_solved.yml
  /c/Miniconda/_conda.exe env export -p "${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX}/envs/${{ matrix.os }}" --explicit > ./environments/csp_${{ matrix.os }}_solved.txt
elif [ "$RUNNER_OS" == "Linux" ]; then
  conda env export -p "${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX}/envs/${{ matrix.os }}" | grep -v "^prefix: " > ./environments/csp_${{ matrix.os }}_solved.yml
  conda env export -p "${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX}/envs/${{ matrix.os }}" --explicit > ./environments/csp_${{ matrix.os }}_solved.txt
