Conda Support

Detect will automatically run the Conda Tree scanner whenever your project contains an environment.yml or environment.yaml file. For the Conda Tree detector to work, both the conda and conda-tree executables must be available on your system’s PATH. If they are not, you can manually provide their locations using the --detect.conda.path and --detect.conda.tree.path options.

During the scan, the detector executes the following commands to gather dependency information:

• conda list -n [environment_name] --json

• conda-tree -n [environment_name] deptree --full

It then parses the outputs to identify all dependencies.

Prerequisite: Ensure the conda-tree package is installed in the conda environment you intend to scan and activate the environment before running the Detect scan.

Optional environment selection:

To target a specific conda environment with the detector, supply the environment name using --detect.conda.environment.name. If you do not provide this option, the detector runs without the -n flag.

Detect runs the Conda CLI Detector if an environment.yml or environment.yaml file is found in your project.

The Conda CLI detector requires that the conda executable is on the PATH, or that its path is passed in via --detect.conda.path.

The Conda CLI detector runs conda list -n [environment_name] --json and conda info --json, and parses the output of both commands to discover dependencies.

Note: To specify a Conda environment to be referenced when running conda list, pass the name of the environment using --detect.conda.environment.name (if not passed, -n flag is omitted). Refer to Properties for details.
