    • Windows 10, from PowerShell, opened per command line

    • Severity 2 - Major

      I want to open SourceTree per command line in the current repository.

      If I run $env:LOCALAPPDATA\SourceTree\SourceTree.exe -f . status then SourceTree opens, but not in the current repository.

      If I run $env:LOCALAPPDATA\SourceTree\app-2.4.7\SourceTree.exe -f . status then SourceTree opens correctly with the current repository.

      Since this is a Squirrel app, it is not feasible to use the hard path with the version. The Sourcetree start wrapper should route all command line parameters to the actual exe.

            I just found a workaround.

            It seems, that relative paths are not working (the . especially) because the squirrel wrapper and the updater.exe seem to redirect the current directory to the installation dir.

            got it working with

            Start-Process $env:LOCALAPPDATA\SourceTree\SourceTree.exe "-f $PWD"

            as $PWD returns the absolute path of the current directory
