source tree crashes when try to edit remotes. how to fix that? Edited

[Lesley]

I am using source tree version 3.3.9 and git version 2.29.2.windows.3. I connected local repository to remote via ssh, everything working well. but remote icon in the right top corner shows an exclamation mark to  indicate an error. when i try to edit my remote origin in settings, suddenly app crashes and close. i have completely reinstall the source tree but cannot fix that. is there any solution to fix that?

Same here

(SourceTree 3.9.4)

Which is a shame.. The pull request feature was mostly what I have been using it for. Now with this it renders the application useless

Any news on this issue?

Facing the same problem. Happening to me for remote GitHub repositories, private aswell as public.

I also get the log entry

ERROR [2021-01-06 19:48:09,949] [1] [SourceTree.Model.Repository] [Log] - Repository: [] does not exist

Although this message does appear on application start. When I try to edit and the app crashes there is no additional log entry made.

The Stacktrace I got from the Windows Eventmonitor looks promising though:

To add to this: This does not happen to me using Azure DevOps Remotes.

Hi John,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you had the chance to look into logs?
Probably an error is logged there pointing to a possible cause?

Let us know if you found something out!

Regards,
Daniel

sourcetree.log file returns,

There is nothing visible that should lead to a crash but in case you can fix the source of the errors it might have a positive contribution to the overall situation.

The last error reminds of a bug for example:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7964
In some other related cases it was reported due to missing 'git' on the system at all.

Happening to me as well!

Even after cloning fresh repository, Clicking "Repository settings", then trying to edit the default hangs then crashes the app.
