Junie Pro always asking for the SDK
Hello
I am an IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1.2 Ultimate Edition user
When I setup a Java environment there are no problems
When I setup a python environment, Junie Pro is always asking me to set up a SDK, but the python interpreter has been set up and perfectly working.
I don't have Pycharm but since IntelliJ should be a superset I am expecting it to work with Junie and python.
Is there any solution for that?
Thank you very much any help

Same problem but I use free plan Junie able to use with Java but with Python it always ask for setup SDK
This is so annoying. I use this for node.js projects and it keeps asking this.
I am also experiencing this issue. I have a subscription to Ultimate Edition, so I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2025.1.4.1. I am successfully using Junie Pro in this app for Java projects. I am also using WebStorm for a TypeScript project, and Junie Pro works there as well. But in IDEA, when I set up a Python Project, I can never get past the “SDK is not configured” error message at the top of the Junie window. I have not tried PyCharm because I prefer to do my Python development in the same tool I use for Java.
In my case, I use Junie in a Python project
And for Junie to work, I have the Java SDK selected in Project, and the Python interpreter added to Modules
These settings are available in Project Structure
Same here - Junie Pro is currently useless for me. Really bad experience unfortunately.
I tried different SDK setups - uv, venv, local Python, nothing worked
I am using macOS, with Intellij IDEA Ultimate.
There is a work around to get Junie to work for Python projects.
1. Go to File → Project Structure.
2. Click on Project Settings → Project.
3. For SDK, select a *JAVA* SDK. Yes, a *JAVA* SDK, not Python.
4. Go to Modules ( right under Project Settings → Project on the same window
5. For any Modules you have, select a Python environment. (Don't use “Project SDK”)
6. Click Apply.
Sometimes when Junie gets updated you need to perform these steps again, but these always work for me.
Thanks Rob Ross , that helped indeed.
