Sourcetree use alterative ruby

Florian Bachman2

Hi, is it possible to use an alternative ruby version within sourcetree?

I need it, to use the newest version of lolcommits

Sourcetree always tries to use the system ruby Version 1.8

instead of my newly installed ruby version 1.9.3 (works fine in terminal)

here my git commit output from sourcetree:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false commit -q -F /var/folders/yz/6ngr49dd0fv22kphv_yq_47m0000gn/T/SourceTreeTemp.bxFaJm

thanks for the hint, but editing /etc/paths and /etc/launchd.conf doesn't take effect on Mountain Lion!

Apple's Developer Forums say this:

Change the Info.plist of the .app itself to contain an "LSEnvironment" dictionary with the environment variables you want.

~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is no longer supported.

So I edit SourceTree's Info.plist (right click on "SourceTree.app" and then "Show package contents") and added a new key/dict pair called:

<key>LSEnvironment</key>
<dict>
     <key>PATH</key>
     <string>/Users/flori/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p362/bin:/Users/flori/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p362@global/bin:/Users/flori/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p326/bin:/Users/flori/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:</string>
</dict>

(see: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/general/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/LaunchServicesKeys.html)

now my SourceTree App uses git 1.9.3 :-)
