PyCharme IDE problems

I can't open my PyCharm IDE. Message error is System path '/Users/pierrebordas/Library/Caches/PyCharm2018.1' is invalid. If you have modified the 'idea.system.path' property please make sure it is correct, otherwise please re-install the IDE"

I all ready tried to re-install, nothing happens, and i didn't find the directory PyCharm2018.1 in ~/Library/Caches. Has someone already had this problem?

Pierre,

I was able to reproduce this issue by each of:

  • chmod ugo-x ~/Library
  • chmod ugo-x ~/Library/Caches
  • chmod ugo-x ~/Library/Caches/PyCharm2018.1

Your perms should look like:

  • ~/Library: drwx------@
  • ~/Library/Caches: drwxr-xr-x
  • ~/Library/Caches/PyCharm2018.1: drwxr-xr-x

I'll bet one of these perms is off.

Notes:

  • If you rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/PyCharm2018.1; touch ~/Library/Caches/PyCharm2018.1 you will get a similar error that will say 'inaccessible' instead of 'invalid'.
  • It is safe to delete this file/directory, the cache will be rebuilt on the next application start.

Hope that helps
