I think I had a very similar issue lately after manually changing the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH environment variable. The solution would be to locate your JULIA_DEPOT_PATH (if it is not set then it will be the default; in your case under Windows this would be something like C:\\Users\\akahs\\.julia I assume; not sure about JuliaPro though^^).
In this folder you’ll find two deps.jl files created by Conda.jl. They are located under:
%JULIA_DEPOT_PATH%\conda\deps.jl-
%JULIA_DEPOT_PATH%\packages\Conda\{some numbers+characters}\deps\deps.jl(<-- this one is the actually important one)
These files were created during the build phase of the Conda.jl package and essentially store the location of the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH at that point in time to maintain a stable reference to that location. Ever after, this path simply gets loaded by Conda.jl, ignoring any other changes to the system. I don’t fully understand the reasoning behind this and I think it is a flawed behavior, since it means that any change to the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH will break the Conda.jl installation. IMHO Conda.jl should always use the current JULIA_DEPOT_PATH unless explicitly told otherwise. You can have a look into your deps.jl files and confirm that they are indeed pointing to the old path.
This would be the solution to your problem then:
- Delete both the
deps.jlfiles - Start Julia and run
Pkg.build("Conda")or type]build Conda
Afterwards Conda will have to reinstall quite a few python packages but in the end everything should be in its “default” location again.
I also opened a GitHub issue on this matter but it did not get any traction so far. If you can confirm this was also the problem in your case I would bump it over there:
