"Mergetool path issue" when launching external merge tool (OSX)

Bradley Kent

When I choose "Launch external merge tool" I get

Mergetool path issue
Current path:/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Please set the command tool path in Xcode and Try again!

I don't know what this means or how to fix

External diff tool works fine

I have Sourcetree 4.1.3

xcode-select --print-path

displays
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

(same path referred to in error message)

I tried

sudo rm -rf /<span>Library</span>/Developer/CommandLineTools

Sourcetree immediately prompted me to instal Xcode. Which I did.

Still get the error

Reverting to Sourcetree 4.1.2 (or 4.1.1) solved issue

Solved for me by ensuring Command Line Tools were set correctly in Xcode (Preferences->Locations).

For some reason this was not set.

@Bradley Kent Did you install Xcode? If yes, then could you please check the Xcode tool path using this command "xcode-select --print-path". Also, Could you please share the system information?

Hussam Radwan

same problem occurred for me using sourcetree version 4.1.3 (239)

for command "xcode-select --print-path"
printed "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools"

I reinstalled xcode tools and I'm facing the same issue.

Ryan D LaBarre

Thank you, this did the trick for me as well.

Reverting to 4.1.1 fixed this for me.

Downgrade to 4.1.1 fixed the issue for me.

Giancarlo Espinosa

Same problem here. I reinsetalled XCode and command line tools and now having the same issue.

pix_s0t3cx

I have exactly the same issue.. on 4.1.3

Florian Storz

Reverting to 4.1.2 fixed the problem also on my side.

Giancarlo Espinosa

Downgrading to 4.1.2 fixed it for me.

Jerry Guo_3kn4ne

Same issue here with 4.1.3

Alfonso Martin

I guess this issue is the same as reported here?

@mikepearce Doing this and restarting SourceTree did the trick for me. Thanks!

Not being able to launch my KDiff3 merge tool to resolve conflicts is is a big problem for me. Downgrading to 4.1.2 as suggested above fixed it for me.

Joe Page_zwb873

same issue on version 4.5.1 (241)

I had it working fine before but can't get my merge tool to work with my new Mac

michael_rarela

Hmmm... this bug has existed for ~5 months. SourceTree doesn't seem to receive bug fixes quickly. Going to explore Fork instead.

Sourigna Phetsarath

Has this been resolved in the latest release? Still seems to be an issue.

Brandon LaCava

Worked for me, v4.1.5

michael_rarela

Fork is working well for me. But since I like the "Reverse Hunk" feature of SourceTree, I thought I'd give it another shot.

I was not successful with v4.1.6. (sadness). Anyone else explore v4.1.6?

Adam O_Dwyer

Same issue in 4.1.7.

I do not have Xcode installed.

Searching Sourcetree docs for "requirements", "xcode" gives no results.

rufwork

4.1.5 (rather than 4.5.1)?

rufwork

Okay, normally I hate these "Fix my bug or I'm out of here!" posts, especially for free (if not Free) software, but I might make an exception this time.

With Fork, you can collapse all merge commits and only display those you need right now. Collapse all branches using the context menu of the graph and expand the ones you’d like to keep.

Hellll-low nice. I was just complaining about not being to do this today.

(Dirty secret: On Windows, I still use SourceTree v1.7 precisely to avoid these sorts of overly common dealbreaking bugs. I've yet to regret it.)

This is a bug, here is the ticket, as pointed out in other answers: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-7737

The bug is finally fixed in 4.2.0, build date 24-Aug-2022 (see https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives).

Installing Xcode is not a viable workaround, as xcode shouldn't be a required dependency for sourcetree. I do not have xcode installed, I confirmed the issue is resolved in 4.2.0. For anybody still stumbling on this issue, upgrade to 4.2.0, should do the trick.

vmpj

I still got the same issue on 4.2.0. Downgrading to 4.1.2 also did not help.

Only fiddling with location settings in XCode, as described here, fixed it for me.

Bob Hatcher_ssgvll

This worked for me:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
