I'm trying to set up a new dev environment on Windows 10. Let me set the stage with some key points:
I am using Ubuntu through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I have Anaconda3 installed on WSL. I have PyCharm installed on Windows 10.
I am attempting to use a Conda environment created in the WSL within PyCharm on Windows 10. For some reason I cannot find documentation or guidance on the process.
I have already successfully setup a virtualenv within WSL as a remote interpreter for PyCharm however it will not allow me to do the same with a Conda environment.
After some trial and error along with contacting JetBrains support, it was determined currently not possible.
My solution to get around this was to have Anaconda installed on both Windows and WSL and then create the Conda environment within Windows. I was then able to activate this environment within WSL with the absolute path to the environment.
Not the best approach but allows for editing in WSL and usage of the interpreter in PyCharm.
