Hi Rahul,

This stack trace doesn't look like it was generated by FeCru 3.6.3, this particular exception would be thrown by GitContext.java:88 in this version.  Ensure you have FISHEYE_INST and FISHEYE_HOME folders separate, otherwise you may be experiencing problems with conflicting jars after upgrade.

Anyway, this particular problem seems to be related with FishEye struggling to locate git binary.   Please ensure it is available in the system path or you provide exact path to git binary, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Git+client for more details.

Ensure also you have supported version of git, as of 3.6 FishEye supported versions listed here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE036/Supported+platforms  Consider upgrading FishEye to 3.7, we started supporting newer versions of git in this release.

Kind regards,
Piotr

Hi Piotr, fisheye server running on linux.Does it require git executable to be set in fisheye???

[Piotr Swiecicki]

Yes, it does, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Git

[rahuldanwade]

thanks How can I configure it to the git.exe???

[rahuldanwade]

because we dont have .exe in linux so up-to which directory I should configure git executable??

[Piotr Swiecicki]

Ensure you have git binary on your system first, by running git --version from command line. If you don't find it install it, depending on your linux distribution using appropiate command. E.g. apt-get install git, yum install git, etc. Once you have it find out where does it live by running which git, it should return full path to git executable, e.g. /usr/local/bin/git. When you have it, follow https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Git+client guide: go to admin / Global Settings / Server, click Edit details under Git Executable and enter the path you learned. Hope that helps,
