Can't commit using hg

Question

SourceTree has generally worked great for me, but recently, when I try to commit using mercurial to a local repo, I get this error:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "hg": error=2, No such file or directory

at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1041)

at scala.sys.process.ProcessBuilderImpl$Simple.run(ProcessBuilderImpl.scala:68)

...

I've switched to using System Mercurial, then back to built-in, I've restarted SourceTree, I've restarted my machine, but I still get the error. Any advice for debugging this?

Oops. Apparently it didn't fix it. Still getting the error, especially when using fetch.

Upgrading to 2.0.1 didn't fix this, but uninstalling and re-installing (version 2) did. I'll just hope it was a one-time error.

Hi Thom,

Your SourceTree is having difficult to locate the hg driver program, responsible to the mercurial integration.

I would recommend you to try to install the latest SourceTree version (for Mac OS X is 2.0.0):

* http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/SourceTree_2.0.0.dmg

Could you please try it and return here to say if it works or not?

Kind Regards,
