[Feature]: Support conda / buildFHSUserEnv about nix-env-selector HOT 3 CLOSED

@tbenst I investigated the issue briefly. Sad but we need to run some shell command as process fork from node js and I didn't find the solution with buildFHSUserEnv if you can help to get env output inside the environment by forking process it can help in another way I think we should close the issue as unresolved in this context.

Hi @arrterian, thanks for looking into this! I didn’t quite follow your comment, could you elaborate or point me to code? happy to help. Thanks!

Now the extension works this way. https://github.com/arrterian/nix-env-selector/blob/master/src/helpers.ts#L22
We run env command inside nix-shell then parse the output through dotenv, then set each variable to node-process on extension host via process.env. If we can get the output from buildFHSUserEnv via forking some process I will able to implement that in extension. But I can't find a solution to how to do that.
