Can't activate virtual environment in Minicond

Question

When I create a virtual environment in Miniconda on Windows 8 and activate it in PowerShell ("activate env"), it says the environment is being activated, but upon typing "conda env list", it shows me that I'm still in the root environment. I checked the envs folder in Miniconda, and the folder with the env is there and seems to be fine with a Python distribution and everything, but for some reason I'm unable to go into the environment itself. For some reason, it works when I use the Command Prompt instead, but this isn't an ideal solution, since I'd like to be able to do everything in PowerShell.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

activate currently doesn't support Powershell. You'll need to modify your path manually, or else call the full path to the Python in the environment.
