[SOLVED] PyCharm error: Cannot run program, error=2, No such file or directory

Issue

I am getting the following error message when attempting to execute Python code in PyCharm:

Cannot run program "/Users/x/.virtualenvs/untitled/bin/python" (in directory "/Users/x/PycharmProjects/untitled"): error=2, No such file or directory

I made sure everything was updated and restarted my computer, but I still get the same error. I have no idea what the problem is.

Edit

I just opened my terminal and was faced with this error message:

virtualenvwrapper_run_hook:12: no such file or directory: /usr/local/bin/python3.7 virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.

If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader, check that virtualenvwrapper has been installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python3.7 and that PATH is set properly.

I have no idea what happened here. I certainly didn't touch any of this.

Edit 2

If I execute Python3 --version, I get Python 3.8.5.

Edit 3

I followed this, but this error remains:

Edit 4

This is the current state:

I think this is related.


Solution

If it helps at all this is what my venv settings looks like.

I don't have the answer as to why it happens, but I find its usually when renaming the project.

In the past i've recreated the project and copied the project files directly from the old folder to the new one in a file explorer (not pycharm) and its fixed it.
