Issue

Whenever I try to activate conda within VSCode on Windows 10, I get a message to initialize the shell.

I tried the following

conda init bash and restarting VSCode
conda.bat activate -> No change. which python still points to /c/Users/user/anaconda3/python
Restarted computer after conda init bash
Set the interpreter via F1 > Python:Select Interpreter

I think the problem is within VSCode because I can activate conda from cmd, powershell, gitbash and within the PyCharm terminal.

Do I miss something?

$ conda activate data_science
CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
If using 'conda activate' from a batch script, change your
invocation to 'CALL conda.bat activate'.

To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - cmd.exe
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

Solution

Your '$' indicates to me that you are not actually having a Command Line prompt open, but rather an alternative (probably bash?).

Press Ctrl+Shift+P and search for 'Select default shell', change to Command Line prompt and you should be good to go :)
