Running a batch file to execute a python script using base conda

Question

enter image description hereI have scoured google and SO and cannot get my .bat file to run properly:

this is what I have:

call "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat"
"c:\Users\my name\Documents\04 PRG\VS Code\Python\Scripts\myscript.py" cmd /k

When I run this it opens up my file with VS code and then stalls. I would like it to just run my script without opening anything.

Thoughts?

I believe you're missing the call to run Python in the batch file. Try: call "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat" python "c:\Users\my name\Documents\04 PRG\VS Code\Python\Scripts\myscript.py" cmd /k — APhillips

Is the virtual environment being activated correctly? e.g. when you run call "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat" in a terminal. Additionally, try using python to run the program: python c:\Users\my name\Documents\04 PRG\VS Code\Python\Scripts\myscript.py — Brydenr

Neither of these quite solve me 100% I can get base to activate but it won't run my script for some reason. I have added what prints out when I run it manually in VS code and it succeeds. — ZKING

I can get python to come up when I run the batch now I just cannot get the script to run. — ZKING
