Problem with conda installation (not recognized)

Hello,

I have an issue with configuring my Python environment in KNIME AP. I get the message “Testing conda installation…”, but the conda version never appears.

I know there are other topics on this subject, but they all conclude with upgrading KNIME AP, which I cannot do to avoid having a higher version than my KNIME Business Hub.

I am using macOS X, KNIME AP 5.2.5. I have tested with both Miniconda and Miniforge, in both cases with the latest conda version and also with a conda version < 23.5.2, as specified in the KNIME Python Integration Guide for 5.2.x.

Do you have a solution to make the integration work with 5.2.5 that does not involve upgrading AP + Business Hub, please?

Thank you in advance!

Hello @cloud230,

Welcome to the Forum.

To understand the issue, can you please share a sample of the relevant messages from your KNIME log (not the whole thing!).

Best,
Keerthan

Hi @cloud230 ,

This is likely caused by a mismatch between the “KNIME Conda Integration” and “KNIME AP Core” versions, which was a known bug (see my explanation here). To fix it, please ensure that the versions of those features match. You can do so by updating to the latest patch version or, if you must stay on 5.2.5, use the dedicated patch update site—e.g.,

https://update.knime.com/analytics-platform/5.2/5.2.5

This will ensure that the plugin versions remain in sync and fix the “Testing conda installation…” issue.
