Gitx crashes when trying to open any repo

[zoodor]

Trying to open any git repository in GitX since updating to 0.15.1869 causes the application to crash. I am on Lion (10.7.5).

This happens when trying to open any of my existing repos or even on an empty repository (after simply doing a git init).

Some details from the crash report that is generated:

[flurin]

I'm hanving the same problem on Lion as well. (The report details are very similar). I get the error once I click on any view that would show a history.

[bool-dev]

Same error here, just updated. Using Lion. Related to 207, 208?

[zoodor]

@bool-dev Yeah, it does look similar, though it's complaining about a weak reference to a different class to the one in #208

[bool-dev]

@zoodor Oh, yes that's right.

[bool-dev]

Btw, the readme now states that:

GitX is a graphical client for the git version control system, written specifically for OS X Mavericks.

[zoodor]

@bool-dev good spot. Pretty sure there was nothing in the release notes though, as I was specifically looking out for something like this :-(

[rowanj]

10.7, 10.8 is still supported; but since I can't test it myself stuff like this will slip through from time to time.

Working on it now.

[rowanj]

Should be fixed in the upcoming build.

[rowanj]

Just out of curiosity, what's keeping you on Lion?

[bool-dev]

For me, it's just too many libraries/programs/apps that i might have to re install if i upgrade. Just waiting for a full week (or 2) of no development/maintenance/debugging at all, to read and upgrade :)
Thanks for the quick resolution. New build is working perfectly!

[rowanj]

Good to hear!

Sounds like you're keeping busy, happy to help.

[zoodor]

@rowanj new build is working for me too - thanks, I really appreciate you fixing this so quickly :-)
I've been putting off the hassle of upgrading and I'm due a new work machine soon, so kind of figured I'll go through the pain of getting set up on Mavericks when I get that.
