    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Fixed

    • 1.9.1

    • None

      In the new 1.9.0.5 Beta SourceTree will crash when you attempt to change the password for a hosted account.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Open SourceTree
      • Open View/Show Hosted Repositories
      • Click Edit Accounts
      • Select editing an existing account or add a new one.
      • tab through the username text box, to activate the_change password_ button
      • click the change password button
      • Crash

      Workaround

      • Copy the Askpass.exe from the installation tools folder into the installation folder alongside SourceTree.exe
        NB. This will not affect production builds it is a side effect of the new Squirrel installer used for Betas

      Reason

      • Squirrel effectively expects a single .exe in the installation directory. To support this AskPass.exe was moved to the tools folder and referenced from there for DVCS interactions.
      • However the change password option within SourceTree, references AskPass.exe as a library, which it can not now find.
      • This was missed in testing due to an incomplete clean of a previous test installation.
