Hello everyone. I booted Linux (Fedora) a few weeks ago. The problem I’m having, the directory path for my Django project is not visible in my Pycharm console.
I know this isn’t a specific Django issue, but rather a Pycharm problem. But I tried going through the Pycharm interpreter/settings and still can’t figure out why it’s not appearing in the console. It only shows (.venv) bash-5.2$
.
Please let me know if you need more detail/specifics from me. Please I need help fixing this IDE problem.
Welcome @remoteconn-7891 !
The prompt is defined in the PS1 environment variable.
(If you’re using bash
and it’s not just reporting that in the console)
If it’s showing up on the regular console and not within PyCharm, there are a couple things that could cause this.
PyCharm might:
- Be replacing the value with a setting - and you don’t have that setting configured.
- Explicitly remove that setting from the environment before opening the shell
- Doing an su to a user that doesn’t have a PS1 defined in its profile
- Starting a subshell that doesn’t maintain the environment
- Doing something to initialize the
.venv
for the shell that is replacing PS1
incorrectly
- It’s opening a shell that is not your standard shell, and this new shell doesn’t have PS1 defined in its profile.
But that would be the general situation - most likely some variation on one of these themes.
Yeah, I mean I know it’s a different IDE (text editor), but I don’t seem to have this issue with VS Code console. So what should I change in the settings to fix this?
Maybe someone else here can jump in on this to identify a solution. (I don’t use PyCharm)

I apologize, I assumed you knew how to use Pycharm based off of your response alone. Hopefully I get this fixed soon, it even does this when using IntelliJ. But then again, both are under Jetbrains.
This would probably wouldn’t happen if I booted to Ubuntu instead Fedora
Anyone on here familiar with Pycharm? Please I really need help, I even check the settings. For some reason, Pycharm isn’t recognizing my Python interpreter
PyCharm is a product from JetBrains, and they have their own support channels. I suggest you pursue this with them.
