Conda environment variables not set

[atownse2]

Hi, I'm trying to set up my workflow on a new computer and I'm having trouble getting my Jupyter notebooks to run. I am running on a windows machine (WSL) and using an environment that I create with Conda (micromamba). The issue is that the environment variables specific to the Conda environment are not being set when the notebook is loaded. In other words my packages will load but some packages will not work because they need some environment variables to be set.

A weird thing is that on my other computer (also windows with WSL) I have this working. It's been a while since I set it up and I don't remember if I had to do anything special. I've been trying to match my VSCode settings between the computers but I haven't found anything that fixes the issue.

In my new setup (which doesn't work in general) it works if I start a Jupyter server in the terminal (with the environment activated) and connect the notebook to that - but I'd like the first option to work if possible.

Does anyone know what might be the issue?
