Cannot run conda command 'activate' with NppExec plugin of Notepad++

Question

If I run

activate my_environment

from a command prompt conda correctly switches to the desired environment, but if I execute the following temporary script from NppExec plugin

activate my_environment
python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

I get the error message

CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
Impossibile trovare il file specificato.

where last line means "file not found". If I omit the activate line the script runs as expected.

Any clue?

Answer 1

I got anaconda environment working from within nppExec using,

cd <AnacondaPath>\Anaconda3\condabin
activate.bat <env name> & python -i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
