PyCharm: No manage.py file specified in Settings->Django Support after refactoring project name

Question

How to configure Pycharm to detect manage.py correctly?

I've modified my project name perfectcushion to llama-stickers, using Pycharm IDE refactor -> rename.

However, now I get this error: No manage.py file specified in Settings->Django Support when trying to runserver from Pycharm IDE.

I also notice that the project is called: llama-stickers**[perfectcushion]**, why is there the old name of the project? Is there something I miss to refactor?

Answer 1

I use intellij 2021 and the accepted answer was not applying to me. I found a solution by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S are pressed at the same time, then going to facets and pupulated the settings field which was empty hence causing the error. Click on the folder icon and select your settings file.

Answer 2

For those who are on mac click on edit scopes

Then add the respective path for

• Project
• Settings
• Manage script

Answer 3

Well how are you working with Pycharm

Go to > File > Settings> Languages & frameworks > Django

Here you configure your project.

Answer 4

So, I had to enter to the top Tool Bar and Edit Config of the Django Project there: See highlighted option.

En Enviroment you'll find:

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1;DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=perfectcushions.settings

Change that also to reflect your project's name:

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1;DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=llama-stickers.settings

Now I can runserver within terminal calling:

ogonz@ogonz:~/Escritorio/web_proyects/llama-stickers$ python manage.py runserver

However, cannot run manage.py directly with CTRL+ALT+R, inside PyCharm, still don't know why.
