Git was not found on the PATH for Bitbucket. Install Git 2.11.0+, and restart Bitbucket.

Hello All,

I am trying to install Bitbucket in Mac machine. I am getting below error.

"Git was not found on the PATH for Bitbucket. Install Git 2.11.0+, and restart Bitbucket".

Installed Git version 2.21.0

added following property in bitbucket.properties and restarted the server still it is showing the same error

plugin.bitbucket-git.path.executable=/usr/local/bin/git

Thanks in advance,

Manikanta

Hi Mani

which Bitbucket version are you running

Had a look to 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/bitbucket-server-config-properties-776640155.html

and it seems to a kind of leftover 

With the new path searching performed by DefaultGitBinaryHelper, setting a default value here is unnecessary, as the plugin will quickly discard the value. This is left here purely for documenting how to set an explicit path.

From my point of view the easiest approach would be to ensure that the PATH variable of the runtime user you use for bitbucket contains the path to the directory your git binary is located

Cheers
