You have incorrect yaml in one of your configuration files. Probably C:\Users\Subham\.condarc.

Edit: Yes, it's C:\Users\Subham\.condarc. You'll need to manually fix the yaml syntax in that file.

Moved here as an open issue so that we can give a proper user error instead of the stack trace.

Hi kalefranz,

The issue is exactly what I met.
Now I am using Anaconda3 5.2.0, and I could not find “tests“ folder, and after replace the “context.py” and "configuration.py"， it still not working.
I was wondering why is this issue caused after installation and why do I need change the code to fix it ??

Regards,
Suyang
