pycharm crashing without reason on Mac?

Question

I have PyCharm installed and it just crashes after about 1-2 hours of use everytime, there is no pattern to when it crashes. Sometimes it's when I'm using it and others when it's just running in the background.

I have the following JRE:

java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

I get the following error and was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar?

Answer 1

I would either try downloading the latest pycharm 4.5 / check for other updates. Or by removing all add ons (if any) and the add them back one by one. See what breaks it.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I've tried to invalidate caches (File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...) it seems that it helped.
