Source-Tree 2.0.20.1 keep crashing right after start

Frank Fock

After installation of Source-Tree it runs once. Then after exit and a fresh start it appears but at the same time immediately crashes with:

Other tools and git command line are working on the same system. An old version (before 1.9) worked too. I cannot use SourceTree anymore and had to switch to some other Git-UI.

I have the same problem, though only in some of my repos.

Note that git2-785d8c4.dll appears to be LibGit2 v0.24.0 from May 2016. This is more than 1 year old, and LibGit2 is now on v0.24.6 with several security related releases including fixes for at least 2 CVEs.

To be honest it's a bit concerning to be forced to upgrade for security reasons and find that the new version (a) crashes, and (b) has out of date libraries with known security issues.

We are currently testing a SourceTree update with updated dependencies

Richard Taylor

Excellent, can I test it when it is available, or is it already available through the beta track?

Hi Frank, our first guess is that this could be caused by a corrupt user.config in %localappdata%\Atlassian\SourceTree.exe_url_\hash\2.0.20.1\user.config. Can you try removing/backing up that file, restarting and see if it works?

If it still doesn't, it would be helpful to have a look at the sourcetree.log files. You can find them as explained at SourceTree logfile location. Please submit your logs via a Support ticket and let us know here you did that, so we can proceed accordingly. Remember to include your Windows version.

Best regards,

Ana

I have removed the whole %localappdata%\Atlassian\* stuff several times. That does not change anything. Even *not* configuring any Git repositories at the first successful start after fresh installation will *not* prevent Sourcetree from crashing after second (and more) start. Windows version is 7 Enterprise (see crash report above).

The sourcetree.log file is completely empty - so no need to upload it ;-)

I've experienced the same issue after updating to v2.0.20.1 yesterday.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling SourceTree, but the error persisted. After several attempts, I managed to capture the error popup:

---------------------------
Error encountered
---------------------------
'git status' failed with code 128: fatal: unable to access 'H:\/.config/git/config': Invalid argument
 (C:\GitHub\<reponame>)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

H: is a network share at my office, but I am working remotely today and don't have access to the office network. Previously I was using SourceTree v1.9.10.0 and this issue was not present.

Why does SourceTree save a config file to a network share instead of locally and where can I change this?

move or remove .git directory from your home directory, if you haven't tried yet.

Hi Richard,

A release should be available in the beta group next week.

minnsey

That is actually a git config file not aactually a SourceTree one.

Git does save configuration files to user's home directories.

You mention v1.9 worked in this environment, in which case it may be a difference between git.exe used in <=1.10 and libgit2 used in >=2.

The crash still happens with version 2.1.2.5 after the Application has been exited for the first time. Then right after starting it, it keeps crashing at a 100% rate:

I had similar issue - ST run only once ok (right after install), then every single nexyt startup it gave me up to 4 messages "git status fail 128 must be run on the working tree (c:\Users\MYUSERNAME) " and crashed after that.

I created an empty .git folder inside c:\Users\MYUSERNAME and it fixed crashes, now it works ok

Cheers!
