Coexist with Pixi Code

Pixi Code and Conda Code can be installed together.

When Pixi Code is installed, Conda Code:

• ignores pixi.toml workspace candidates

• ignores pyproject.toml workspaces with a [tool.pixi] table

• does not publish tasks from either ignored manifest

• excludes prefixes below .pixi/envs from regular conda discovery

• refuses to quick-create conda.toml in a Pixi workspace

Conda Code continues to handle conda.toml and other workspace manifests. It does not create a workspace from pixi.lock.

Choose a provider per workspace

Use Pixi Code for Pixi workspaces and Conda Code for workspaces managed by conda-workspaces. Set the environment manager on the corresponding Python project through its menu or through python-envs.pythonProjects.

Move a workspace from Pixi to conda-workspaces

Remove or rename the Pixi manifest only after completing the workspace migration. Add a workspace manifest, select Conda Code for the corresponding Python project, then run Conda Code: Refresh Environments.

Do not keep both tools pointed at the same environment prefix. Conda Code hides a prefix when multiple workspace manifests report it, and it always excludes .pixi/envs.
