Conda Environment Propagation (Community Hub with Team Plan)

Hi all,

I am experimenting with the Team Plan on the community hub. I saw in the docs that Conda Integration is available - I’ve set up an environment which is all standard except it has one package installed additionally (pip install into the active conda env).

On my desktop the workflow executes as expected, however when I run it on the Community Hub I get the following error showing on the Conda Environment Propagation Node:

Execute failed: The following packages are not available from current channels: - conda-forge::vc14_runtime==14.42.34433 - conda-forge::ucrt==10.0.22621.0 - conda-forge::libwinpthread==12.0.0.r4.gg4f2fc60ca Current channels: - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge - https://conda.anaconda.org/knime To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're looking for, navigate to https://anaconda.org and use the search bar at the top of the page.

I am a bit confused as these packages, I assume, are part of the “normal” KNIME env i.e. after setting it up with:

conda create --name my_python_env -c knime -c conda-forge knime-python-scripting=5.4 python=3.11

When I do not include them in the env, on my desktop, everything still works fine.

This also seems to solve it for execution on the hub - that said it feels really weird that these packages cause an issue during env set up on the hub, but work perfectly fine on my local machine.

The package is:
markitdown from Microsoft (pip install markitdown)

Hi @MartinDDDD were you able to handle this? I am trying to use conda environment propagation as well, but I am getting errors.

Hey there,

I cannot exactly recall how I did it, but it worked out… here is the RAG ingestion workflow that uses Conda Env propagation and also works on Community Hub:

I did a video on this back in the day which you can refer to here:

Wow!

You did such an amazing job.

I was able to solve my issue by unmarking these libraries on Conda Environment Propagation node: libwinpthread, ucrt, vcomp14, vc14_runtime.

I am using KNIME AP 5.8.2LTS.
