Working directory error

问题:

I am working with PyCharm 4.04. Since I installed it, every time I open it, as default directory I get this:

C:\Users\Laura\AppData\Local\Temp\main.py1.tmp>cd

Which gives me an error when trying to use the console:

Error:Cannot start process, the path specified for working directory is not a directory

But even if I change the directory, the message does not disappear.

The terminal, though, it does work and I can run projects, but I would like to use the console.

Another solution is to close the project, run rm -rf .idea and re-open it. Apparently Pycharm gets confused by some direct folder manipulation and doesn't reflect it properly in his .idea/*.xml files

I also got this error, and it got resolved by setting the default working directory. Follow the below path, and set the Working Directory to the folder where your code resides.

File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Console > Python Console > Working Directory ...

I finally solved the problem.

I think it all started because the first project that I opened with pycharm was in my "download" folder, so the working directory was automatically set to a temporal folder by default and allthough I moved the project to another folder and I manually changed the working directory from the terminal, it was not working.

The solution was creating a new project and giving a correct path to the new project. It seems very easy but it was not that obvious.

• In the upper right corner click on small ▼ next to your main to run (look to the left from green right-pointing triangle)
• Select Edit configurations.
• In ▼ Python select the proper configuration name.
• Look at the Configuration panel.
• Fix items Script and Working directory.

I had this same problem and just had to reinstall pycharm. It's a quickfix and I can't ensure it won't happen again.

回答6:

I solved this by replacing all instances of the old filename and old directory with the new one in .idea/workspace.xml

It can be done with PyCharm running.

@user1068430 has the answer in the comments to the question:

When you open a project open the directory not a specific python file. Instead of ~/Documents/myProject/main.py open ~/Documents/myProject

If you "open" the .py file then you'll have to set the working directory (File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Console > Python Console > Working Directory) every time. If you "open" the directory containing the .py file, then PyCharm will open and all of your .py files will be available in the left window. Select one of them and you're good to go.

To anyone with similar issues: Python interpreter virtual environment is where your python.exe sits. The working directory is where your script sits. To make everything easier, open a new project, scroll to location where you script is stored, and select. Click the interpreter option, click existing (if old one worked) or choose the python.exe. When asked, open the project in a new window, close old one to avoid confusion. source = banging my head against the console for past few hours.
