Sourcetree not detecting changed files

Dylan_Tusler

I've been working fine with Sourcetree for a while. Recently it started to become slow with detecting file changes in my project. After a few days of this behaviour, it stopped detecting them altogether.

I am using version 2.3.1.0 on Windows 10, working with a BitBucket repo.

Now every time I need to use Sourcetree I need to exit and reopen it in order to pick up the latest changes.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, which fixed the problem for about 24 hours, but then it came back again.

Hi Dylan,

Can you confirm the option “Automatically Refresh” is checked? You can verify it going on Sourcetree -> Preferences -> General -> Refresh automatically when files change.
Are you using submodules in that repo?
When you modify a file and yet you cannot see the changes in SourceTree, what if you click an F5 to refresh the repository.. does it successfully refresh?

Lastly, reinstall SourceTree following How to Wipe SourceTree Preferences and see if that works.

Cheers,

Branden

1. Yes the option is on.

2. No we are not using submodules that I am aware of.

3. Yes pressing F5 works.

I'll "wipe" sourcetree and come back in a few days with the results. I am travelling away from the office for a few days.

The immediate impact of following the config wipe is that SourceTree seems to be picking up the changes again. This also happened last time I reinstalled, so I will keep an eye on it and report back.

Dylan_Tusler

So far so good. Sourcetree has behaved itself since this fix.

What an absolute ballache! Is there no chance of reverting back to a stable branch that still has the dark theme?

Edit: Sorry, I ment to post this as a reply to the initial answer - now I can't delete my answer Atlassian software... Flawless as always *cries in corner*

I reinstalled version 3.2.6, it has dark theme, and auto refresh work just fine

JeromeAtAILiveSim

while waiting for a better way, when I close the tab and reopen with "add" my git local repo, then it works normally for a while.. brakes again after a few hours but ..

Then the best way to fix this issue are apply the previous version?

Eduardo Enrique Rodriguez Cano

In this case, reinstall the previous version and problem was corrected

Try tick above, worked for me

Kira Resari_3knkzw

Did not work for me

JeromeAtAILiveSim

Not for me either

David Walters_zfwz7g

I'm having this issue as well. It doesn't even update properly when I checkout a different branch, everything just stays the same unless I press F5 or restart the application.

It was working fine for me before I updated to 3.3.7 yesterday, but I don't want to downgrade back to the version with the annoying empty local branch name bug

dancaveman

already checked and still an issue. This started after the last release.

Same issues here on 3.3.6

Lakpriya De Silva

Same problem of refresh not working w/ v. 3.3.7

Very problematic. Very troublesome.

I join Lakpriya in suggesting quick fix... this is a show-stopper

David Baker_0zk8d0

It's fixed in 3.3.8: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-12705?focusedCommentId=2342485&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-2342485

Nice... but that version doesn't seem to be released yet. Not showing up in the options/update tab yet. Will be looking forward to it

fzuill

David Baker pointed me to the fix in 3.3.8. Here is the Jira link, and in there is a link to the exe. Totally worked for me. We're back in business. Thanks David for pointing it out!

3.3.8 work fine! thx alot!

Lakpriya De Silva

The red exclamation mark shows up. Another minor bug from 3.3.8. Refresh issue has fixed it seems. Still, 3.3.6 is there on the official site https://sourcetreeapp.com/

F5 doesn't seem to even work anymore in 3.4.2... one year later.

This bug keeps getting worse with age.

rontattoo

Facing same issue even in the latest version 4.1.0 Bigsurf

this is very annoying, i might have to find a different Git GUI that would work with bitbucket. any recommendations?

I'm in version 3.3.6.3829 and Windows 10 (1909) I'm still having the same issue with having to refresh using F5, but only for some projects, even though the settings are all the same.

Clean install or removal of projects only works temporally.

I primarily see it affecting the first pane from the left when having multiple projects open.

Just thinking if this issue is worked on or if it's just a quirk we have been living with since 2017.

Was a fix ever found?
