SourceTree Custom Action on Mac returns "launch path not accessible"

Ken Taylor

I am setting up SourceTree with the same custom actions that work with another installation. For example, I have:

Script target: git

Parameters: clean -fx

When I attempt to invoke the action, I get:

git clean -fx

launch path not accessible

Completed with errors, see above

It works if I specify the full path of git in the script target: /usr/local/git/bin/git

But I would prefer to not have to specify that in each of the actions.

I have SourceTree configured to use system git with location /usr/local/git/bin/git. But I get the same error if I use embedded git.

I also tried an action:

Script target: /usr/sbin/which

Parameters: git

This also returns the error:

launch path not accessible

What gives?

SourceTree version 2.0.5.3

Git version 2.5.3

$ defaults read ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist PATH

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin

This issue was somewhat resolved for me at some point. I cannot recall when but at some point git appeared in /usr/bin and I no longer get the launch path error for simple custom commands.

But I just had the same problem with launch path when trying to use a more involved command:

git tag -l | xargs git tag -d && git fetch -t'

To work around the problem, I created an alias:

git config --global --add alias.prunetags '!git tag -l | xargs git tag -d && git fetch -t'

I then made the custom command:

git prunetags

A PATH issue seems most likely, but it looks like the correct git location is listed in the PATH. I'm not a Mac user - are the different items in the path supposed to be separated by colons? Semi-colons seem like a more typical delimiter for this sort of thing. Although you'd probably have bigger problems if your PATH is using the wrong delimiter.

Ken Taylor

Colon is the delimiter in unix-based systems. Is there support for Mac?

Should be, SourceTree features are typically developed for Mac first, then ported to Windows. Sounds like a Mac user needs to take a look at this, or maybe you'll need to try submitting a bug report to get the attention of Atlassian staff.

I'm having the same issue. Can't figure out how to fix what it is trying to tell me. Did you ever resolve this? I tried "/usr/bin/git" as the command and "-C $REPO clean -fxdn" as parameters but still get the "launch path not accessible". I assume this means it cannot reach the command but I expected using and explicit path would work. I can certainly execute this from the terminal. Since I started SourceTree as my user, I'd expect it to have the same permissions.

terminal: chmod 0755 path/file
worked for me

This solved it for me as well
