Sync with remote directories doesn't work
Hello.
I successfully use PyCharm's remote features, such as: remote debugging, automatic code deployment, and displaying the differences between the local and remote versions of a single file. But (!) sometimes I need to see differences between local and remote directories (i.e. recursive diff on each files). Sadly but PyCharm's `Sync with Deployed...` (on local dir) and `Sync with Local...` (on remote dir in Browse Remote Host) shows nothing although there are differences in some files inside directories (and `Sync with Deployed...` executed on such files separately show the differences).
What caused this behaviour? Maybe i missed something?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
P.S. I saw questions that are named similar to my one and nothing helped, as the instructions on "jetbrains.com/help/pycharm" too.
Info:
PyCharm: 2019.2.2 (pro v.)
Deployment type: SFTP

Hi,
I could not reproduce the issue. If you have a particular steps that can reproduce the issue, please post them here so we could test it out.

I think I just had the same issue (PyCharm 2021.1.3 Professional).
Compare and sync show the files are the same.
When debugging and the remote file opens at a break point I can see that it is the wrong code.
Checking the remote server I can see that the files is in fact synced just fine.
Opening the remote file from the Remote Host tab in the sidebar shows un-synced version of the code and not the actual file content from the remote.
Assume this indicates a caching issue.
Solution for me was:
File > Invalidate caches... > Check 'Clear downloaded shared indexes' > invalidate and Restart.
