Pycharm: Error while parsing "docker-compose.yml": Process `docker-compose config` failed

Question

This error appears randomly when I'm working with docker-compose on Windows 10, sometimes after pycharm already working with docker-compose as interpreter. I tried:

• Make sure docker-compose file is valid, without tabs instead of spaces.

• Use yml and yaml suffixes (sometimes yaml works and yml doesn't, sometimes both are working or not working)

• Add project-compose to configuration files.

Problem is 'solved' just after rebooting, and then happened again.

Answer 1

Linux here

tl;dr: same solution as for windows

1. check path to docker-compose executable:

   ➤ which docker-compose
   /home/voy/.pyenv/shims/docker-compose
   

2. Go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Docker | Tools | Docker Compose Executable and paste docker compose executable path from above

   

3. Restart pycharm
