DiffMerge never launches

Gizambica

So I have the external merging tool setup, with the path and everything, but when I click "Launch External Merge Tool" from the dropdown, the merge tool is never launches

 

This is what my .gitconfig looks like

[..]
[difftool "sourcetree"]
cmd = 'C:/Program Files/SourceGear/Common/DiffMerge/sgdm.exe' \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[mergetool "sourcetree"]
cmd = 'C:/Program Files/SourceGear/Common/DiffMerge/sgdm.exe' -merge -result=\"$MERGED\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$BASE\" \"$REMOTE\"
trustExitCode = true

 

And my Tools/Diff window in sourcetree:Can anybody give me a hand? Thanks!

Hi @Gizambica ,

Welcome to the Community!

I'm not 100% familiar with DiffMerge itself, but looking at their command line argument documentation: https://sourcegear.com/diffmerge/webhelp/sec__clargs__merge.html

It looks as though the arguments you are supplying might be attempting to perform the merge automatically and then exiting.  Have you tried setting the merge command without supplying any arguments to see if it will launch?

I hope that helps!
