Cannot create new python environment in ArcGIS Pro 2.2

[ChrisHills]

I have updated ArcGIS Pro to 2.2, and now I am unable to create a new python environment. I have tried both cloning the default, and creating a new one. It creates a new directory in the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs folder, but after I click on Ok, it disappears, and even after restarting ArcGIS Pro only the default python environment is available.

I have updated to ArcGIS Pro 2.2P3 but I still have the same problem. I have attached the log file to this message.

I tried running conda from a command prompt, and it resulted in the following, which suggests that it is trying to connect to the internet. In my workplace there is no direct internet access and browsers must use a proxy server. Perhaps ArcGIS's conda does not respect the environment's internet connection settings? In addition, these messages did not appear in the conda_debug.log file.

Give this a try: Problem: Unable to create environments or install packages after upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.2 

[MichaelAugust]

I too cannot create a new python env after updating, also spyder is no longer shown and I had that working just fine...what do I need to do to get spyder back?

I can actually see the environments being created with the names I'm giving them, however the "manage environments" interface in arcgispro does not list them as a choice.  I did the above suggestion and waited for the blue progress bar to stop...nothing.  The docs and yourself refer to "restarting" arcgispro - is there some other way to "restart" other than exiting the program and relaunching it?

my log (conda_debug.log --I don't have a "conda_log.txt" as above - should I?) indicates an issue with Numpy:

INFO:conda.proconfig:Detected ArcGISPro as product
DEBUG:__main__:conda.cli.main called with ('C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\Scripts\\conda.exe', 'proswap', '-p', 'C:\\Users\\xxx\\AppData\\Local\\ESRI\\conda\\envs\\Python3', '--json')

Swap: The environment C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\Python3 doesn't contain NumPy, which is required for ArcGIS Pro.

Any Ideas?

If you follow the link I posted.... https://community.esri.com/blogs/dan_patterson/2018/07/01/arcgis-pro-your-conda-environments

it shows you how to install spyder... clone or not

I still have no idea why spyder, jupyter console and jupyter notebook (or lab) aren't installed by default given the number of people programming with python

So you can either wait, or get spyder installed now

We have the plenary streaming live in our office; maybe Jack will mention it sometime today...

I have upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.2.1 recently, I want to configure an utility network. With the copy & paste trick, I also managed to create a new project environment. Now I want to add the untools package. It seems to install, at least it takes some time to do something. But I don't see the untools listed in "Installed Packages", neither after refreshing the packages information nor after restarting ArcGIS Pro.

But, in the packages folder of my local conda environment (...\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\pkgs) I do find the folder "untools-2.2.0-py36_0".

Does anyone have an idea what needs to be done?

[JoeBorgione]

ESRI needs to figure out a better way, that's what needs to be done.  In the mean time, Dan Patterson‌ has numerous blog posts addressing this issue.  I tried cloning and creating new environments and that never worked for me.  Check out Dans' blogs: what did work for  was using conda to install the Spyder package into the default environment.
