The Aim

Provide a convenient way to install developer tools in VSCode workspaces from conda-forge with micromamba. Get NodeJS, Go, Rust, Python or JupyterLab installed by running a single command.

Inspired by Robocorp RPA developer tools:

• RCC - a command-line tool to run software robots and integrate with the Robocorp Cloud
• Robocorp Lab - a JupyterLab based IDE to build software robots
• Robocorp Code - a VSCode extension to build software robots

Commands

Micromamba: create environment

This command creates a file - environment.yml describing configuration. The environment.yml is a mamba environment file The extension comes with a number of templates but you could change it to your needs and re-run init command.

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Type - micromamba create environment
3. Choose a template from a list
4. See the micromamba execution progress in terminal
5. The environment is activated automatically

Micromamba: deactivate environment

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Type - micromamba deactivate environment
3. See the micromamba execution progress in terminal

Micromamba: activate environment

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Type - micromamba activate environment
3. Choose an environment from a list of created environments
4. See the micromamba execution progress in terminal

Micromamba: remove environment

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Type - micromamba remove environment
3. Choose an environment from a list of created environments
4. See the micromamba execution progress in terminal

Micromamba: clear all

Clear all command removes micromamba, packages, and reset environment to the initial state.

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Type - micromamba clear all
3. See the micromamba execution progress in terminal

DotEnv file support

DotEnv file is a convenient way to provide environment variables to other extensions or user scripts. Each time user creates or activates an environment there is a ~/.micromamba/.env.{prefix-name} file created.

Multi-root workspaces

With multi-root workspaces all operations will work the same way as if you open the first workspace folder in VSCode. The idea is that the first workspace folder is a target folder.

Let's say you have a project.code-workspace with content:

{
  "folders": [
    {
      "path": "folderA"
    },
    {
      "path": "folderB"
    }
  ]
}

Assuming folders are already created, when you open the workspace in VSCode and command to create a micromamba environment, you'll see the following directory structure:

.
├── folderA
│   ├── .micromamba
│   └── environment.yml
├── folderB

How to get it?

Simply open Micromamba - Visual Studio Marketplace and click "Install". Alternatively open Visual Studio Code, go to the extension view and search for "Micromamba".
