desktop: GH Desktop stopped working after update to MacOS 13 Ventura

The problem

After upgrading to Ventura, GH Desktop stopped working on my M1 MacMini. No issues before with the 5-6 connected repo prior to upgrade. After launching it will go through its normal startup and while sitting there will start throwing errors after 10 seconds or so. I am assuming that the errors are being caused by GHD starting its scan of the current repo.

If you dismiss the errors and wait another 10 seconds or so, the errors will pop back up. At no point can I try to commit or publish.

I have tried removing the GHD directory from ~/Library/Application Support/ and removing GHD.app and then reinstalling with a fresh download from the website.

I have also made sure that my XCode CLI tools are up to date.

Release version

3.1.2 (arm64)

Operating system

MacOS 13.0 Ventura

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Launch GHD
Wait 10 seconds after selecting a Repo (if one isn’t already selected)

Log files

No response

Unfortunately Sonoma has not solved this issue.

This issue is also present when mounting a share with mount_smbfs and using GIT within a IDE like PHPstorm (GIT crashing).

Please fill a feedback/bug report through https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/ if you haven’t already so this issue can get fixed quicker by Apple.

We already have a couple of similar reports.

Mac OS Ventura 13.3 didn’t fix it for me but on the bright side the issue I have opened through Apple’s feedback tool did have a comforting message.

Potential fix identified - For a future OS update.

So a little patience is still required from Apple.

Same behaviour for me after upgrade to Ventura, when trying to do a commit from a network volume

It seems that Sonoma 14.2 has fixed this bug ：）

Two reports in #15705 and #15727. I was able to reproduce this issue as well with a network drive on macOS Ventura.

I was having the same issue, running all my projects from a Google Drive. I moved them all to my Mac then “found” the folders in Desktop and everything started working again with no errors. Just FYI.

I had the same issue but things seem to work as normal after I cloned my repo to my macs HD instead of the Google Drive virtual one

I am taking this error when I want to connect started rtsp server as a client. Can you help me how it solved?

It’s been almost 4 months since this was opened. Any updates on when it will be fixed?

Thanks for working through this with me. I have no idea why Nova works, but GHD doesn’t. Very odd. I think you are right in that it has to be tied to Ventura. Maybe Nova bundles their own commands and doesn’t rely on the system?

I ran the command you gave me - actually I ran both the direct command and the GHD command - and got basically the same results:
