[Lmod-announce] Update PATHs after a module load

[Announcing n. v. of L. <lmo...@li...>]

Is it possible to update PATHs immediately after a load call inside a Lua modulefile? For the example shown below, a module named mymodule, the first call of module load mymodule will load miniconda3 but the following conda activate call will not work because path to conda exe is not found. The second call does the activate just fine, so what I am trying to achieve is to get the conda activate to work with one module load call. I've learned that environment-modules version 4.1 supports this kind of feature, but Lmod 8.5.2 (the version I have) doesn't seem to support it. Is there a way I can achieve this with Lmod? Otherwise, I will have to put them in two separate modulefiles ...

Thanks in advance


prepend_path("MODULEPATH","/contrib/miniconda3/modulefiles")load("miniconda3")
if (mode() == "load") then  subprocess("conda activate mymodule")end
if (mode() == "remove") then  subprocess("conda deactivate")end
