powershell doesn't display current directory after conda init

Question

After executing conda init, now every time I open PS, it displays:

PS>

rather than with the current directory

PS C:\Users\Me>

How do I make PS show me the current path?

I have a solution to add a PS script like:

function prompt {
  $p = Get-Location
  "$p> "
}

But the problem is that, though I have my current directory now, I won't be able to see my current env in conda. This means after excuting conda activate myenv, current env myenv is not displayed, while on the other hand I expect to see:

(myenv) PS C:\somePath>

Answer 1

Short version is to try this in a Powershell session: Add-CondaEnvironmentToPrompt

To alter the Powershell prompt, the above answer is correct but these sites have more concise explanations for doint it: $Profile-Powershell Powershell Prompt Function

The $profile automatic variable will show the location of your Profile.ps1 file: PS > "$Profile"

You should find a conda region like:

region conda initialize ...\Scripts\conda.exe" "shell.powershell" "hook") | Out-String | Invoke-Expression ... endregion

If you change 'Out-String' to 'Out-Host' then the commands should be displayed when Powershell is launched. 'Add-CondaEnvironmentToPrompt' should be in there somewhere. Copy and paste that below the conda region in your "$Profile". Change the file back to 'Out-String' and relaunch Powershell.
