SourceTree crash on commit

[Eric Langley]

Hello, 

Running Version 3.2.6 of SourceTree connect to a BitBucket Git repository.

When I run a Commit SourceTree crashes (every time) and the program to report the crash comes up. 

What can I look for to troubleshoot? 

Thanks,

~eric

Hello Eric and welcome to the Community!

Thank you for reporting this issue upon commit. We can confirm this is caused by the lack of a username and email being set within Sourcetree. This issue will be resolved in a future release as well. To set a username and email, please review the following:

• Within Sourcetree, select Tools > Options.
• From within Options, ensure the following is entered:
• 

I hope this information proves helpful in allowing you to commit.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

I have the exact same problem and I do have the username and E-mail filled out. What could be the other ways to fix this?

[JBonavita]

I'm running into the exact same problem. I have both my user name and password filled in and it crashes on every commit.

[Alin Baesu]

I also had this problem, although my user name and pass were filled in by default. I did the following and it worked for me:

1. I deleted the user name and password from Options, left the fields blank.

2. Made a commit (it crashed).

3. Added the user name and password again.

It now commits without any issues so far.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for this. I was getting a crash when performing a commit, but only for a recently added repo. This fix worked.

[Mark Dalton]

Thanks for this, this fix worked perfectly for me, i also had a ssh key uploaded to client "SSH Client Configuration" that was not required

[Alexander Oss]

To be clear, the workaround above involves clearing, committing/crashing, and then re-entering the "Full Name" and "Email address" fields inside the "Default user information" panel on the "General" tab of the "Options" dialog box (as indicated in the screenshot, and not the user name and password).

[David Thompson]

So for me, it worked for a couple days and then broke again. The fix did not help. I ended up rolling back to v3.1.3 which fixed the issue for a couple days again. Then I had the User Information popup every time I tried to commit, whereupon I had to delete the user.config file in my AppData folder.

[pocaltieri]

It worked for me. Make sure to use your username instead of FullName

[Dimitri Bervoets]

Solution of Alin Baesu worked for me.

Hope the bug will not be back ...

I already had both the full name and email filled under 'Default user information' in General options. Originally I had my real name, then I switched it to my Atlassian username. No difference, it still keeps crashing. 

Running on a Windows 8 and I'm using an application password with basic auth.

[Saurabh Gupta]

Removing the username and password and rentering the same worked for me.

Thanks for the solution.

[jonscott-sheldon]

The workaround presented did work for me.

But, will this issue be patched?  Rather ridiculous to have a git client crash on commit, seems like an important thing to fix.

[lahirugunasena]

Username must be with out spaces. "MichealClarke" like this..

[Exequiel Lagrada]

Thanks man ! your solution solved my problem !

[Craig_Colomb]

Confirmed, username cannot have spaces. Sheesh.

[kengkreingkrai]

I solved problem with comment of dev2webindiasolutions, Thank you

• Within Sourcetree, select Tools > Options.
• From within Options, remove Full name and Email address
• perform in the command line:

git config --global user.email "PUT.YOUR.GIT@EMAIL.HERE"

git config --global user.name "PUT.YOUR.GIT.USER.HERE"

try to commit again. After it when I opened Options the Full name and Email address fields were filled-in properly.

(!) in the command line, you will probably need to change the current folder to one where GIT executable resides.

As an alternative way you can try to edit c:\Users\<YOUR.USER.NAME>\.gitconfig file like below and restart Sourcetree app.


[user]
name = PUT.YOUR.GIT.USER.HERE
email = PUT.YOUR.GIT@EMAIL.HERE
[difftool "sourcetree"]
cmd = '' \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[mergetool "sourcetree"]
cmd = "'' "
trustExitCode = true

This solved the problem in the end. Thanks!

[Pajar Dewa Saputra]

thank's a lot , this work for me!

[artuursaljeksejevs]

This solves

[reethu s]

adding name n email again wored for me as well

[s7197]

The git CLI method did it for me, although I didn't get the sourcetree fileds automatically repopulated, and it took a couple of attempts befor it worked.

[Stacey Dunstan]

Worked for me:

- Deleted username and email.

- It crashed.

- Re inserted username and email.

- Now it works :)

[Pitthawat Wajeethongrattanaa]

it work thx xd

[Matthew Mckenzie]

Also make sure that the Authentication tab is set up correctly or the commit can't work at all:

[Mohammed Amer]

Hi @Eric Langley  delete the user name and password from Options, leave the fields blank

Make a commit, it will crash for sure. Then add the user name and password again then do a commit, it will work fine.

[Daren Thomas]

I am seeing this issue with v3.2.6.3544 regardless of the state of the Default user information.

[Sebastien_Portier]

In case of, try without space

[Daren Thomas]

I tried that without success.

[Sebastien_Portier]

Hi,

Had the same issue when there is a space in the full name.

Without space it's working fine

SourceTree version 3.2.6.3544

[Deleted user]

I just removed my email and kept my full name. then it worked for me to commit

[Mohammed Amer]

I followed the steps of "Alin Baesu" and it worked for me!!!

[Venkat Chimakurthy]

Alin's solution worked perfectly for me.

[Stephen Stryker]

I was able to resolve this by simply deleting the Username and Email completely, saving those changes, closing the program and restarting it, then entering the Username and Email manually.

[Brian Lee]

What worked for me: 

• I already had my name and email under default user information in general options. It was still crashing.
• What I was missing was the default project folder. Once I filled it in under General options, no more crashing.

[Shreyans Jain]

thanks this worked for me as well but what we should  add in the option for selecting folder in repository

[mikegoldberg]

Same exact issue and Alin's instructions above worked like a charm.. Thanks for the help!
