My IDEs Keep Freezing—Need Help!

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

Hey everyone, this is my first post here! I'm working on a machine learning project, but I keep running into issues where PyCharm uses the wrong virtual environment or my code runs without producing any output. Even after adding debug messages, I get no errors, which is confusing. I've managed to resolve some problems by deleting and recreating my virtual environment or by force quitting and restarting PyCharm. However, now it seems like nothing is working; PyCharm has completely stopped functioning. I've restarted it multiple times, and I even changed to VSCode, but it won't let me open my project folder. When I try to open files manually in VSCode, it freezes too. Just to note, everything was running fine last week, and I was even able to run it yesterday after some troubleshooting. Additionally, this only seems to happen with Python in both IDEs, while JavaScript works fine in VSCode. My laptop seems to be operating normally overall. I'm on a MacBook Air M1. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I attempted to clear the caches, but unfortunately, it didn’t resolve the issues. I even uninstalled and reinstalled PyCharm, but the same problems came back. The only temporary fix seems to be deleting all virtual environments and creating new ones, but that only works for a short time before the code starts running indefinitely again. It's so weird!

That sounds really frustrating! Since it’s happening in both PyCharm and VSCode, it might be related to your Python environment. You could try reinstalling the latest M1-compatible version of Python and create a new virtual environment. Also, try clearing the IDE caches—PyCharm has an 'Invalidate Caches / Restart' option that might help. Remember, some Macs M1 need ARM-specific software, so double-check that you're fully compatible.

Have you tried running your project directly from the command line? It's worth a shot to see if the issue is with the IDEs or something else in your setup.
