I am using VS Code to execute a python code. I want to automate this windows task scheduler, however i am getting an error.

from VSCode this is what I see on terminal when I run the script;

Loading personal and system profiles took 712ms
(base) PS C:\Users\tableauautomation\Desktop\Python>  & 'C:\Users\tableauautomation\Anaconda3\python.exe' 'c:\Users\tableauautomation\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.7.96456\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher' '64388' '--' 'c:\Users\tableauautomation\Desktop\Python\ForecastAutomation.py'

write the below lines in your notepad with .bat format.

call activate [my_env]
python c:\Users\tableauautomation\Desktop\Python\ForecastAutomation.py
call conda deactivate

if absolute path of python is not included in $PATH then use absoulte path of python.exe in .bat file.

call activate [my_env]
c:\Users\tableauautomation\Anaconda3\python.exe c:\Users\tableauautomation\Desktop\Python\ForecastAutomation.py
call conda deactivate

Anyone else have this issue the solution is here; The batchfile needs the following parameter (Windows Machine)

cmd /c C:\Users\tableauautomation\Anaconda3\condabin\conda.bat run "C:\Users\tableauautomation\Anaconda3\python.exe" "c:\Users\tableauautomation\Desktop\Python\ForecastAutomation.py" pause
