Startup Abort in Pycharm 2019.3

[voxelv]

I get an error every time I try to start PyCharm 2019.3 with the GTM plugin enabled. I have to disable it in order to actually open PyCharm successfully.

As an alternative you can take a look at: https://github.com/DEVELOPEST/gtm-jetbrains It's written for somewhat updated version on gtm, but should be compatible as of now with the original one
