tcsh PATH vs PATH vs path #8883
Description
Current Behavior
In csh, conda activate is setting the PATH environment variable AND setting a PATH shell variable to two different things.
Steps to Reproduce
Using csh and conda 4.7.5, you can see the difference here:
source miniconda/etc/profile.d/conda.csh conda activate ENVIRONMENT echo $PATH printenv PATH
If a user wishes to then set the PATH, they may run into issues. Example (after following the steps above with an environment that has python installed):
which python setenv PATH /tmp:${PATH} echo $PATH printenv PATH which python
Initially python is pulled from the environment. After changing PATH, python is being pulled from the miniconda installation. The workaround is to set path using the following method:
set path = ( /tmp $path )
Expected Behavior
Both the PATH environment variable and PATH shell variable should be set to the same thing. This would resolve the issue in both cases. This issue seems to have been recently introduced with the addition of the following into etc/profile.d/conda.csh:
set PATH="dirname ${_CONDA_EXE}:$PATH"
I no longer get this issue if I update the line above to be:
setenv PATH "dirname ${_CONDA_EXE}:$PATH"
