That means pycharm/bin/fsnotifier* files do not have length PyCharm expects them to have.

How did you do the update?

Hi Roman,

this is the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pycharm/
and this is the pkgbuild file: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/py/pycharm/PKGBUILD

Can you check if there is a problem?
thanks

Not sure how it handles update. If I got it right, new version is just written over existing. Then yes, it may cause problem.

pycharm /opt/pycharm/bin/fsnotifier64

$ pacman -Qi pycharm |grep Versión        
Versión           : 2.7-1

add attach (log):
idea.log (6.2KB)

I tested Pycharm and works normally, maybe this is a little bug...

Hi, I'm too seeing the same warning in PyCharm 2.7.
My system have the same specs than Xavier's: Arch x86_64, KDE SC 4.10, Kernel 3.7.6-1-ARCH with Oracle's Java JDK 7.13 installed:

j:0 /opt/pycharm/bin $ ./pycharm.sh
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
[   2443]   WARN - api.vfs.impl.local.FileWatcher - Native file watcher executable is outdated

Please let me know if you need further logs.

The reason for this to happen is because MAKEPKG by default strips all binaries from debug symbols, this includes the version symbol that PyCharm uses to identify any potential updates.

Long story short:
1. Download PKGBUILD manually (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/py/pycharm/PKGBUILD)
2. Add options=(!strip) to the PKGBUILD anywhere before the build() function
3. Rebuild and install

I added to the PKGBUILD in AUR options=(!strip).
