SourceTree on Mac not reflecting local changes in Eclipse

Maureen Dunlap

I just installed SourcTree on Mac OSX 10.8.3 and am trying to use it with my Eclipse project and Mercurial.

If I make a change to a local file, shouldn't it be reflected in the Working Copy window as "Show Pending"? In fact, no changes show up at all with any setting, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Maureen,

Yes if you use the setting "Show Pending" then it'll show all files that have changed that are not ignored. One thing to quickly try is a force refresh (Cmd+R) if you don't see a refresh. The next thing to do would be check the files you're amending are a) part of the working copy and b) not ignored. Thirdly, ensure you've got adequate system resources (hard disk space, available memory etc.) as we rely on what Git/Mercurial reports to us in order to update SourceTree. If your system resources are lacking then Git/Mercurial will take a long time to report file changes (this is known to happen). Lastly, and it may sound silly but I only know from personal experience, ensure the files you're amending are actually a part of the repository in SourceTree.

If none of those apply get back to us and we'll be happy to look into it further.

Cheers
