SourceTree 1.8 Git Flow not working

[maha]

Hi,

i upgrade today to SourceTree 1.8. After that i can't create a new Feature. And a co-worker can't complete his feature. I seems that Gif Flow is broken.

I will try downgrade to 1.7.

Btw. Please add the Git Flow button to the navigation again.

Thanks Marco

I have downloaded the latest version 1.9 and still facing the same issue. I can't finish my feature. Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

Hi, I have the same problème, but just when I use the graphical acces

It work when I tape command, strange Noooo!!

eg: git-flow init -d

Because I'm not so good at command line, I hope someone tell me how to fx it. Thnx

Source Tree 2.2.3 and still no git flow feature.

[Chase Sandmann]

I can't use this version at all.  It doesn't recognize my built-in Git which has a bunch of critical settings, and I can't figure out where to add them to the "embedded git" for ST.  This is absolute garbage and I am utterly disappointed in Atlassian for ever accepting such trash in an official release of their product.

[Gert Driessen]

same issue.. I will wait for the fix

[Nickman]

Still no update?

[Roberto HDLL]

Wow, so, the current solution its unistall and install an old version...

[Nils Holmager]

Same issue here... reinstalled 1.7

[范绍勇]

sh.exe C:\Users\FANSHAOYONG\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\gitflow_local\gitflow\git-flow feature start redux
完成时带有错误，见上文。

I have the same error~~

[Johannes Kilian]

I wonder what kind of regression testing they use before release? It looks like there was no testing at all ...

I've just got a notification from Atlassian regarding this:

The latest release of SourceTree for both Windows and OSX contains several bugs that were discovered after release. We have a new version of both apps going out in the next 24 hours which should address the following issues:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-3395

In addition, we will also be bringing back the Git Flow button to the main top nav bar to both new versions. For OSX, you can access it by right clicking on the menu bar and selecting customize toolbar once the new version of the app has been installed.

It looks like a fix will arrive soon.

Same problem. Trying to start a feature.
SourceTree tries to run:

sh.exe C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\gitflow_local\gitflow\git-flow feature start sales_pricing

and fails with quite unhelpful message:

Completed with errors, see above.

I tried to run this command from command prompt and saw that Windows can't find sh.exe.
I tried to add

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\bin\

to PATH. Didn't help. SourceTree was still showing the same error.

When I tried to run this command from command line while in C:\Users\<username>\ folder, it ran and showed this message:

fatal: Not a git repository

I switched the current folder to the one that has .git in it and then it ran successfully and SourceTree picked up that there is a new feature created.

It seems that the new version of SourceTree is not setting the current folder properly when trying to run git flow commands.

[Jamie Anderson]

Atlassian have definitely introduced a bug here. They're trying to execute a file that doesn't exist.

Using Process Monitor from SysInternals (part of Microsoft), I can see that SourceTree is trying to run mingw32\bin\sh.exe. It's trying every directory in the PATH environment variable, but isn't able to find sh.exe to run it.

I've had a look for where copies of sh.exe might be, and have found:

• SourceTree embedded Git (2.6.1): %localappdata%\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\bin\sh.exe
• Git for Windows (1.9.5 and 2.7.1.2): %install_dir%\bin\sh.exe

In other words, the path is always %git_base_dir%\bin\sh.exe.

Also, when launching sh.exe, the full path to the executable should always be used. The current method is falling back to a search of the PATH, which is both inefficient and may result in the execution of a completely different sh.exe.

Fixed by reinstalled version 1.7

[Michael Whitis]

Same problem as the OP.  "upgrading" to 1.7

[Justin Smith]

Nice one Atlassian! Thanks for the "upgrade" and wasting half an hour of my day.

[Renaat Meeuws]

Same problem.

"Fixed" by removeing source tree and reinstalled version 1.7

Same here, can't finish my feature after updating to 1.8.

[maha]

@Brent Maxwell thanks for posting the error message. It's the same one i get.

[Jon Lowndes]

In case anyone else is having trouble with this, you can download the previous version from 
https://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.7.0.32509.exe 

[Deleted user]

Here is the error I get in SourceTree:

sh.exe C:\Users\maxwellb\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\gitflow_local\gitflow\git-flow feature start <branchname>
Completed with errors, see above.

[Jon Lowndes]

I'm having the same issue. I'd usually use GitFlow to close my feature branch, but since the update it doesn't recognise that I have any feature branches.

[Johannes Kilian]

Gitflow init and creating a hotfix does not work here
