Issue of using terminal to open sublime merge in macOS 10.15

#1

Firstly, thanks for fixing this issue.

After update to build 2020, the drag/drop is finally back again. However, smerge ./ no longer worked as it was anymore :cry:Normally, it should launch sublime merge and open the current repo in the application. But now in build 2020, it stops at the “welcome” page and asks which repo I want to use which is one or even two more extra steps to use the terminal to open the repo in Sublime merge.

Can anyone helps to confirm it’s a bug or it only happened in my Mac

Environment:
Macbook Pro 13, 2019, 4 tb version
macOS Catalina, version 10.15.4 (19E287)

Does anything get logged in the Sublime Merge console or in the terminal?

I read as much in your initial post. Does anything get logged in the Sublime Merge console or in the terminal?

Ok, I figured out how to fix this. For those who have the same issue in the future, the way how you can fix it is that remove the old soft link in your environment, and then relink a new one.

So for example, I removed mine which is in /usr/local/bin/smerge. After that I create a soft link again by the usual way: ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Merge.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/smerge" /usr/local/bin/smerge
et Voila :slight_smile:

And thank you @bschaaf :pray:t2:
