List Packages Installed in a Conda Environment

Description

This function retrieves a list of all packages installed in the specified Conda environment. The result is returned as a tibble with detailed information about each package, including its name, version, and source details.

Usage

list_packages(
  env_name = "condathis-env",
  verbose = c("output", "silent", "cmd", "spinner", "full")
)

Arguments

env_name

Character. The name of the Conda environment where the tool will be run. Defaults to "condathis-env". If the specified environment does not exist, it will be created automatically using create_env().

verbose

Character string specifying the verbosity level of the function's output. Acceptable values are: "output": Print the standard output and error from the command-line tool to the screen. Note that the order of the standard output and error lines may not be correct, as standard output is typically buffered. "silent": Suppress all output from internal command-line tools. Equivalent to FALSE. "cmd": Print the internal command(s) passed to the command-line tool. If the standard output and/or error is redirected to a file or they are ignored, they will not be echoed. Equivalent to TRUE. "full": Print both the internal command(s) ("cmd") and their standard output and error ("output"). Logical values FALSE and TRUE are also accepted for backward compatibility but are soft-deprecated. Please use "silent" or "output" instead.

base_url

build_number
