Usually, we activate a conda environment with the command:
source activate env_name
Is it possible to activate conda environment with its full path? For example:
source (fullpath)/bin/activate
When I do this it activates the default environment of anaconda i.e the root environment.

To activate your Conda environment, type source activate <yourenvironmentname> . Note that conda activate will not work on Discovery with this version. To install a specific package, type conda install -n <yourenvironmentname> [package] . To deactivate the current, active Conda environment, type conda deactivate .
Reload Window from Command Palette, select base:conda as python interpreter then press Ctrl+Shift+` to open a new integrated Terminal, conda environment should be activated automatically in it.
If you activate the environment you're interested in, you can find that answer in the environment variables. You can also run conda info --envs , and that will show the paths to all your environments. That should return the path you're looking for.
With conda, you can create, export, list, remove, and update environments that have different versions of Python and/or packages installed in them. Switching or moving between environments is called activating the environment. You can also share an environment file.
Update for conda 4.4 and up:
You need to specify the conda environment path to activate. The new conda activate command should not need the full path to an "activate script" any longer, since the command is now "built-in" to conda. So something like:
conda activate (fullpath)/env-name-here
should work.
The command you have specified activates the root environment because you have not given conda an environment to activate, and root is the default. If you want to activate a particular environment, you can certainly do so with the full path to the activate script, for instance
source (full path to main Anaconda directory)/bin/activate (fullpath)/env-name-here
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You're missing this part
You can activate an environment that is not in your conda environment list by passing the path to the environment. For example you can create an environment in any directory you want with the -p argument. Like so:
conda create -p /path/to/some/location/mytestenv/ python=3.5
This will NOT show up in conda env list, but you can activate it with:
source activate /path/to/some/location/mytestenv
