path behaves different from system-terminal (for anaconda)

[birnstiel]

The new anaconda installation does not just add itself in front of the path, instead it adds the following to the .bash_profile or .profile file:

# added by Anaconda3 5.3.1 installer
# >>> conda init >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$(CONDA_REPORT_ERRORS=false '/Users/username/anaconda3/bin/conda' shell.bash hook 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    \eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/Users/username/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/Users/username/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
        CONDA_CHANGEPS1=false conda activate base
    else
        \export PATH="/Users/username/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda init <<<

If I run which python in the system terminal (I'm on macOS), I get:

/Users/username/anaconda3/bin/python

and for which conda, I get:

/Users/birnstiel/anaconda3/bin/conda

However doing the same on the platformio terminal, it behaves differently. Then I get

/usr/bin/python

and

/Users/username/anaconda3/bin/conda

For some reason, the code that the anaconda installer added to my .profile (see above) does not prepend the anaconda3/bin directory to the PATH.

I have the same issue.

This seems like same issue #546 just you discovered a different symptom.

[the-j0k3r]

I can confirm 2.9.0 fixes this issue + #546

@ivankravets can close until newer information provided. thx

[gideonsimpson]

I'm having this problem on MacOS with version 2.9.4

@gideonsimpson please see #703 which has a solution posted in #703 (comment)
