can ros_conda_wrapper work with conda installed outside the home directory?
libphy opened this issue · 3 comments
I have a machine that has conda installed in a shared directory e.g. /opt.
After running ros_conda_wrapper installation script, I tested if the --ros-wrapper after a normal conda activcate command would work with my existing conda environment which is located in opt/anaconda3/envs.
For example, when I run this command conda activate tf22 --ros-wrapper, I expect that the environment tf22 will work with ros. Instead I got an error message:
activate does not accept more than one argument: ['tf22', '--ros-wrapper']
I'm not sure if this occurs because my conda home directory in not my user home directory (I've followed the same instruction as in this github repo's README page- the .ros_conda_wrapper directory isn under $HOME dir). Can someone verify if the installation script also works with the similar case (when the conda is installed some other place than the $HOME directory)? In order to make this work, what changes do I need to make?

@libphy Thanks a lot for your interest in the Ros Conda Wrapper. The behaviour you are experiencing is as intended as I by design did not fully overload the Conda activate command. As a result, the activation and deactivation are done by Conda. The --ros-wrapper can be accessed by using the following syntax conda --ros-wrapper. I updated the README.md with some code examples to make it more clear. Let me know if that solves your problem.
