Sourcetree crashes on branch change

[Matt Hellstrom]

I've tried to update source tree for the last year and every time I do, I can't change branches, it immediately crashes. The last version that works is 4.2.7. I'm on macOS Sequoia 15.6.1. Any ideas? Maybe a conflict with another program I'm running?

Hey @Matt Hellstrom ,

Two questions:

1. Does Sourcetree crash immediately upon launch after updating, or only when you attempt to change the branches?
2. Which versions have you tried? I'm on Windows, but I can see the latest available macOS version is 4.2.15

I believe there were some vulnerabilities affecting Mac in versions 4.2.8 through 4.2.11; therefore, the recommendation is to upgrade to 4.2.12 or later.

You could maybe check open bugs if there's anything related to it 👀
I did a quick scan but couldn't find anything relatively new that describes your experience.

Cheers,
Tobi

Sourcetree doesn’t crash when I open it, only when I change branches. It may crash at other times as well, but I haven’t tried commuting or pulling or anything else. As soon as I try to change branches it immediately crashes. 

I’ve tried every version since 4.2.7 and they all react the same way. It’s been doing it for more than a year, I just go back to 4.2.7 in order to use it.

Definitelly strange, but also not a friendly UX, I imagine.

What you could do is maybe create a new bug report related to it so devs could take a look at it.

If you would navigate to JAC, log in with your Atlassian account and create a new Bug within the SRCTREE project/space.

I mean, these things can definitelly depend on the OS you're using and whatever you have configured locally, but from my experience, this is the fastest way that someone will take a look at it and try to re-create it to see if it's an app issue that needs to be addressed. 👀
