What happened?

Sorry, we have an exception now in our conda builder. I went through all issues and could not find it. Are we overlooking something. This issue appeared after we upgraded python and conda, but we are not able to pin this problem exactly.

I copy&paste code example

from conda.cli.python_api import Commands, run_command

def conda_run(command, *args, **kwargs):
    stdout, stderr, ret_code = run_command(command, *args, **kwargs)
    if ret_code != 0:
        msg = f'Command {command} [{args}] ' \
              f'{kwargs} returned {ret_code}\n' \
              f'STDOUT:\n {stdout}\n' \
              f'STDERR:\n {stderr}'
        raise RuntimeError(msg)
    return stdout

conda_run(Commands.RUN, '-n', 'base',  'conda', 'config', '--set', 'pip_interop_enabled', 'True')

Getting an exception

Downgrading CONDA to 22.9.0 solved the problem locally, exception is not appearing anymore

@dgoeries,

Did you experiment with upgrading to the latest conda version 24.4.0? I'm curious to see if that resolves your issue.

[dgoeries]

Yes, I have tried upgrading before (24.5) but was not succeeding

[travishathaway]

Also, is there a reason you're running conda commands with conda run? That seems a little redundant.

[travishathaway]

This works for me with newer versions of conda (24.3.0):

from conda.cli.python_api import Commands, run_command


def conda_run(command, *args, **kwargs):
    stdout, stderr, ret_code = run_command(command, *args, **kwargs)
    if ret_code != 0:
        msg = f'Command {command} [{args}] ' \
              f'{kwargs} returned {ret_code}\n' \
              f'STDOUT:\n {stdout}\n' \
              f'STDERR:\n {stderr}'
        raise RuntimeError(msg)
    return stdout

def main():
    conda_run(Commands.CONFIG, '--set', 'pip_interop_enabled', 'True')


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

thanks a lot, I will have a detailed look. We are using a file with name dunder main py
