No such file or directory: 'conda'

Description

On my system, I have only mamba installed and not conda. When running jupyter notebook, jupyter lab or gator, I get the following error message (sorry for the formatting, I tried to fix it as good as possible):

[E 2024-03-07 16:01:47.247 ServerApp.mamba_gator] Error for task 
{
  'type': 'FileNotFoundError', 
  'error': "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'conda'", 
  'message': "FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory')", 
  'traceback': []}

Furthermore, no environments are shown!

The error itself is not unexpected (at least for me), since I don't have conda installed on my system, I only have mamba!

However, my understanding was that I don't need conda to rungator.

This seems to be a bug to be, but any help is appreciated!

EDIT: I looked through envmanager.py and might have found a possible issue. In line 200, you call which mamba to get the executable of mamba. In my case, I installed mamba via nix, which only provides micromamba. For ease of usage, I aliased mamba to micromamba. In this case however, line 200 return mamba: aliased to micromamba which breaks the command.

EDIT 2: I created a script mamba which correctly resolves to the micromamba executable. Now I get the following error (in the jupyter log):

Reproduce

1. Install environment (below)
2. Run jupyter notebook, jupyter lab or gator
3. Don't find any mamba environment

# environment.yml
name: notebook
channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python>=3.11
  - jupyterlab
  - notebook
  - mamba_gator
  - pip

Expected behavior

Detect all installed environments:

$ mamba env list
  Name            Active  Path
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  base                    /home/cgahr/micromamba
  notebook        *       /home/cgahr/micromamba/envs/notebook
  qmk                     /home/cgahr/micromamba/envs/qmk

Context

• Python package version: 5.2.1
• Extension version:

$ jupyter labextension list
JupyterLab v4.1.3
/home/cgahr/micromamba/envs/notebook/share/jupyter/labextensions
        jupyterlab_pygments v0.3.0 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab_pygments)
        @jupyter-notebook/lab-extension v7.1.1 enabled OK
        @mamba-org/gator-lab v3.1.0 enabled  X (python, mamba_gator)                                                                                                             
                                                                                                             
   The following extensions are outdated:
        @mamba-org/gator-lab
                                                                                                          
   Consider checking if an update is available for these packages.
