Windows error messages: how to help?

[ijstokes]

I realize conda-pack claims that it doesn't support Windows, however I noticed enough on_win entries in the code that I thought I'd give it a go. I have latest conda-pack installed from source, which I believe means that thanks to #12 and #48 should have a reasonable chance of working. However I get the errors below:

> conda pack -n test -o test-deps.zip
Collecting packages...
CondaPackError: Failed to determine path to environment: 'test'. This may be due to conda not being on your PATH. The full error is below:

b''

I can tell you conda is definitely on my path:

>where conda
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin\conda.bat
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe

>conda -V
conda 4.5.11

One possibility: USERNAME has a space in it. That is, unfortunately, unavoidable.

Windows support was added in #48, and will be part of the next release. Since you're using master, things should have worked fine. I suspect you're right about the issue being how we're shelling out to conda. Does it work if you pass the path to your environment?

conda-pack -p relative_or_absolute_path

@ijstokes, any update on this?

[mcg1969]

Now that the Windows support seems to be in moderately common use I'm going to close this, because I think it's likely stale. But please feel free to reopen or file a new issue if we can get a reproducible case.

I also still have the same issue here.
