Cannot load facet Django in Pycharm community version, but no error in professional version

Question

I started learning Django by building a simple project with Pycharm community version first, then in the middle of the development, I switched to the professional version. After the trial version expired, I moved back to the community version.

Now when I am using the community version, Pycharm shows event error:

Error Loading Project: Cannot load facet Django

If I try the professional version, it's successfully loaded.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

I migrated from PyCharm Professional to PyCharm 2024.3.3 (Community Edition). I got the same error as soon as I opened the project folder. To solve this (and other) notification problems, I simply removed the .idea directory from the project. The only thing I had to do was point the Python interpreter again. My project is working perfectly.

Click "Details..." in the warning popup and answer "Yes" to the suggestion to ignore the facet or manually remove <facet type="django" name="Django"> node and all it's children from .idea/<project_name>.iml stored in your project root.
