Answer 1

I'm running PyCharm 2018.3

The Problem:

First, I didn't have the [Errno 2] No such file or directory problem. Then I had the problem out of nowhere.

The issue arose when I did:

• Preferences -> Project: {project_name} -> Project Interpreter
• Instead of "Click on cog icon and select Add Remote", I chose a interpreter that I've configured previously (that is working fine previously) from the drop down menu

By doing the steps above, I had [Errno 2] No such file or directory problem.

The reason is that the folder is not automatically synced to the remote server (a bug?), nor could I find a way to configure it to sync. Configuring Deployment and Path Mappings did work, but it's too much manual labor and prone to error.

The solution:

All I had to do is to add a new remote interpreter, despite that identical configurations already exists previously. (To be safe, I did remove the old ssh interpreter and the old deployments, also removed .idea folder) Then everything worked as expected.

• I didn't need to configure Deployment
• I didn't need to configure Paths mappings
