Is there support within PyCharm/CLion to activate a conda env which is being used to execute a given python script? Currently, when I configure a conda env as the interpreter to be used to execute a given script, PyCharm/CLion do not activate the environment before executing the script. If this is not done, any environment variables settings defined in activate.d/env_vars.[sh|bat] are not applied.

As of now, I believe there is not. I had issues with this as well. A workaround would be do re-install Anaconda and tick the "add to path" option, or you can launch PyCharm from the prompt in which you activate your conda environment.

    How would this address anything related to environment variables? The issue is not that the package is missing from the path but how the interpreter gets initialized. – mcguip Oct 31 '18 at 19:50
  • Well, If you just point the python interpreter to the conda env python.exe you are using, it doesn't get automatically activated, and I don't think there is a way to do this in PyCharm (as of now). Running scripts from an unactivated conda environment can lead to problems, since it's unsupported. I believe the issue you mention is a known issue, maybe one of these resources can help you: [Stackoverflow post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48924787/pycharm-terminal-doesnt-activate-conda-environment?noredirect=1&lq=1) [Jetbrains bug report](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-23417) – Psychotechnopath Nov 14 '18 at 13:13
