In case it helps, as of conda 4.4 there is a new way of activating environments. Please have a look at:
https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#440-2017-12-20

Thanks ! I tried that but I'm getting the same issue even before trying conda activate base

luis@juno:~$ . $HOME/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
bash: /home/luis/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh: line 80: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: /home/luis/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh: line 80: `conda() {'

[kaaloo]

Ok I found the culprit, there is an alias conda="PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 conda" entry in my .bash_aliases from a workaround to #394 some time ago.

[kalefranz]

Going to reopen this to remind me to make sure we’re properly escaping conda with \.

[sritee]

@kaaloo Instead of an alias, you can use a function if you need it in bashrc file.

anaconda () {
   export PATH="/home/sritee/anaconda3/bin:$PATH";
}

typing anaconda, and then source activate env should work.

[mingwandroid]

@sritee that is not the way to activate conda environments.

I removed the word "function" in line 5 and line 31 in all files .sh

/home/.../opt/anaconda3/etc/conda/deactivate.d/*

If you would like this issue to remain open please:

1. Verify that you can still reproduce the issue in the latest version of Conda

2. Comment that the issue is still reproducible and include:

• What version of Conda you reproduced the issue on
• What OS and version you reproduced the issue on
• What steps you followed to reproduce the issue

3. It would also be helpful to have the output of the following commands available:

• conda info
• conda config --show-sources
• conda list --show-channel-urls

NOTE: If this issue was closed prematurely, please leave a comment and we will gladly reopen the issue.

In case this issue was originally about a project that is covered by the Anaconda issue tracker (e.g. Anaconda, Miniconda, packages built by Anaconda, Inc. like Anaconda Navigator etc), please reopen the issue there again.

Thanks!

I've had this error occur multiple times and I'd never figured out what the proper fix is until today.

Open your .condarc file, remove the parenthesis in the env_prompt string. In fact, I just changed mine to env_prompt: "{name}".

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me strangely enough.
