sourcetree app can't update

[Astro Nomenov]

Method not found: 'Void SharpCompress.Readers.IReaderExtensions.WriteEntryToFile(SharpCompress.Readers.IReader, System.String, SharpCompress.Readers.ExtractionOptions)'.

Why is sourcetree such a horrible application so full of bugs????? 

They should study Sublime Merge and program accordingly. I detest sourcetree.

[Vipin Yadav]

We have fixed the issue and will be applicable into next release as it was already shipped into previous version. So for workaround please update(reinstall) the sourcetree directly from this link.

Thanks,

I've tried to look for this direct link to your 3.4.10 version but your main website still has the 3.4.9 as the Windows download. It would be nice if you at least keep your latest version updated on your website to avoid frustrated users.

[Natchiar Venkatachalam]

Very Sorry for all the in-conveniences caused.

This is an early release we have suggested the users to try while we are working towards the formal 3.4.10 release.

We are still working on the formal process and release of the 3.4.10.

Thanks,

[Stew Stryker]

Thanks for explaining as this update bug caused me to waste time too. 

I'm sure it's occurred to you that the better solution would be for v3.4.9 not to tell us there's an update until the "formal" release is ready. Hopefully, that will be the case next time there's an update.

[Natchiar Venkatachalam]

Sure Stew! 

As we keep progressing in our formal release, thanks for the valuable input we will surely consider it next time.

Thanks,

[Ekoate_Ges]

Thank you

I uninstalled it. i can just use the website to get my repo names. this app is forever dead to me.

you guys obviously DO NOT test all upgrade paths. this is the reason i am not going to use or suggest anyone to use your tools from here forward.

UNRELIABLE junk mostly from my experience from the start with bitbucket.

I'm done, do your own testing, maybe you won't lose more users that way.

While the download link presented above does work, an upgrade from 3.4.9 to 3.4.10 from within Sourcetree STILL fails with the very same error message as was reported almost a month ago...

Don't know what to say to that.

[Mukesh Kumar]

Hi @MKr 

Release versions can not be changed, that's why upgrade from Sourcetree 3.4.9 to latest version can not be fixed.

But in 3.4.10, we fixed it during phased rollout. Even 3.4.10 users who downloaded it in first phase are facing issue with update.

So, if any user is facing update issue, we recommend downloading latest version from Sourcetree website and install that.

Currently Sourcetree 3.4.11 is in phased rollout. that can also be downloaded from following link (Sourcetree 3.4.11).

[Astro Nomenov]

I had to uninstall sourcetree (lamest git app I have ever used--git for windows is far superior)

Then I had to delete ALL sourctree and squirrel folders. Then install latest and reistablish contact with my server, but thats not all, it took several times of this proceedure for it to actually work!

Then it says a new update is available, even though i downloaded latest, and IT FAILS, then it won't run until rebooted

WHAT A POS

I am DONE using this horrid crap.

i will use the website only to get my repo names so i can clone them with Sublime Merge or from bash

sourcetree is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY. whoever is working on it, it's a POS

[Natchiar Venkatachalam]

Hi @Astro Nomenov ,

Very Sorry for all the in-conveniences caused.

As we mentioned earlier,

Please note that if you are in 3.4.9 the check for updates will not work & hence we recommend you to use this fixed 3.4.10 version by directly downloading from the url.
If you are in 3.4.8 or lesser versions you use check for updates feature and update to 3.4.10.

Thanks,

[Dario Fumagalli]

As of today, updates still FAIL. With the same errors reported above.

I manually downloaded the installer and then the upgrade worked.

However, of course, like ****ALWAYS****, now I am trying to update the embedded Git and guess what, it downloads a compressed file, unpacks it and...

...

...drums roll...

...

That update fails too.

I am speechless.

Now, I don't really care any more, because due to your extra-low quality I switched to another repo service with functioning client utilities.

But I just wanted to have this for posterity, as a reminder to never trust your products again.

And no, don't bother replying with your "oh-we-are-oh-so-sorry", because you had *YEARS* to fix your stuff and still didn't do that.

Had I been so inept I'd been fired years ago.

Auto upgrade from 3.4.11 to 3.4.12 is still broken. It failed with error:

Method not found: 'Void SharpCompress.Readers.IReaderExtensions.WriteEntryToFile(SharpCompress.Readers.IReader, System.String, SharpCompress.Readers.ExtractionOptions)'.

After closing the app, it won't open again, forcing me to reinstall Source Tree.

[Xander Faro]

Same issue when upgrading from 3.4.10 to 3.4.11. After the error, SourceTree won't start anymore. Thanks.
