There are many places other than with open() that might use pathlib treatment:

-    conda_history = os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'conda-meta', 'history')
-    return os.path.exists(conda_history)
+    return Path(sys.prefix, 'conda-meta', 'history').exists()

Although... some of them might be less trivial and more error prone, especially when they're interpreted as text. For example, when returning a PosixPath object breaks code in the scope above because it is being ' '.join()-ed with other shell arguments.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to review all the PRs, there are many tacking this issues, be careful some of you are sending changes for which there are already other PRs opened.

Why is this closed now?

Awww, sorry ashwinvis you do not seem to be allowed to do that, please ask a repository maintainer.

I am new to open source contribution and would love to work on this issue. After I am done with my changes, what would be the easiest way to test the code before I create a PR?

Hello @squarebat
You should do this:

• Install the testing dependencies this by running this command in the root of the repo:

$ pip3 install -e .[test]

• Then execute the tests with

$ iptest

I want to work on the test_run.py file. However, I'm having trouble resolving some errors in that file. The two main errors are

• undefined variable get_ipython (This one is resolved by adding an import but that seems wrong)

• undefined variable _ip : In some functions _ip is initialized as _ip = get_ipython() hence defining it, but in other functions it not initialized, hence causing error.

I have set up my environment using pip install .
I just wanted to know if I made a mistake while setting up the environment, or if there is a bug in the test_run.py file.

I have set up my environment using pip install

You have to use pip install -e .[test]

The -e means that you Install it in editable mode.
