Python package cloning not working

[FraserM]

Long story short: when I click the clone default arcgis pro python environment, it clones. And then when I click the dot next to the cloned environment to select it, then press ok, I get stuck with the loading bar (as per the attached image) for ages (30 mins + ) with no sign of the new environment being activated. If I restart Arc the cloned environment has not been activated. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bug? I've restarted my PC and the issue persists.

If I were you I would clone it mannualy.

1. windows + x
2. search "python command prompt"

You should see somethin like this:

You are now at yours active conda env

cd pathWhereYouWantYourEnv

conda create --prefix=arcgispro-py3-clone --clone arcgispro-py3

proswap arcgispro-py3-clone

The img bellow shows the steps:

And that it, have fun coding.

Thanks for the solution. I am using the conda command as you descibe, but I get the error "HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url ..."? Downloading the packges in the internet browser works.

It didn't help to set ssl_verify to false

conda config --set ssl_verify false

"k" parameter also didn't work (runs the command in the insecure ssl mode)
conda create --prefix=arcgispro-py3-clone -k --clone arcgispro-py3

Any ideas are highly appreciated.

Hello, @Chess .

If I'm not wrong, that 0% it is a indicator that your system is blocking your python to do internet connection (firewall or antivirus might be the culprint).

If you are in a corporate worskpace you might have at least 3 options:
- Ask the IT team to check the firewall;
- Ask the IT team if you can use a router wifi ( It could be your phone or they might have one, without the firewall rules).
- Do offline clone;

If you are at home just change your firewall rules, or check your antivirus rules.

Hi @Chess ,

I am running into the similar http messages trying to clone the default python environment ArcGIS Pro 3.0. I've tried both the package manager and also command line instructions similar to the above but listed below. Both are throwing the same http errors. Did you get this resolved/find a work around?

Thanks in advance,
