conda installation in production Bluesky environment #139
Description
Installing hklpy (or any package with shared dependencies) into an existing Bluesky conda environment (e.g. 8idi_bits) crashes live Bluesky/IPython sessions because it replaces core shared libraries. This makes it unsafe to install hklpy directly into a production Bluesky environment.
To reproduce:
conda activate 8idi_bits
conda install -c conda-forge hklpy
conda uninstall hklpy
The error:
IPython (and any other package included in hklpy) no longer exists in 8idi_bits, even if it was there before the conda install.
Expected/desired behavior:
Shared dependencies are not modified during conda install or conda uninstall.
Environment:
8idi_bits
Workaround:
Use a cloned 8idi_bits environment to work on any development.
