git-lfs crashing on MacOS Ventura

[OllyMason]

Hi,

SparkeShare v3.28.0 (installed with Homebrew)
MacOS Ventura 13.0.1

What happened:

git push to remote fails, whatever the remote - git-lfs crashes.

What I expected to happen:

Sync as normal

This happens when:

1. An update is read from the disk
2. git push happens, pre-push hook calling a (bundled?) git-lfs is invoked

Session log snippet showing the first instance:

If I manually try to push from the working directory, I see the same error:

.git/hooks/pre-push: line 2:  6884 Killed: 9               env GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/ssh/2020-04-13_11h12.key -o UserKnownHostsFile=/Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/ssh/known_hosts -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o PasswordAuthentication=no -F /dev/null' /Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin/git-lfs pre-push "$@"
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@gitrepo/path/dotfiles.git'

Changing the git hook to another git-lfs or removing it allows for manual push. However I can't simply leave the git hook amended, as it gets reverted. For completeness:

• syncing with a different remote doesn't make any difference.
• there are no objects in this repo > 100MB, even in history (purged).

It appears to be a bundled git-lfs:

$ md5 $(which git-lfs)
MD5 (/usr/local/bin/git-lfs) = 13e618b0f93e32376a54448bd1ae757f
$ md5 /Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin/git-lfs
MD5 (/Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin/git-lfs) = f81a1a065a26a4123193e8fd96c561ad

Running git-lfs from that path on its own even to see version also crashes.

$ /usr/local/bin/git-lfs --version
git-lfs/3.3.0 (GitHub; darwin amd64; go 1.19.3)
$ /Users/omason/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin/git-lfs --version
Killed: 9

There is no addon security software active that might be killing git-lfs, but there does appear to be some system security guarding against inappropriate resource usage by this executable. System crash log attached (not of that same instance, that appears to have aged out), but it's a bit beyond me to diagnose.

Happy to test a 3.38 binary build.

This is happening to me, too, on an intel macOS 13.1. Interestingly, my ARM64 macOS 13.0.1 computer (which I'm about to upgrade) is not having the same problem. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help diagnose the problem. Attaching full log, FWIW.

Same issue. Intel macos running Ventura 13.1

UPDATE: I managed to get version 3.38 of SparkleShare installed but I'm having the same problem.

[sdondley]

OK, fixed by updating the git-lfs binary in ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare by doing the following:

brew install git-lfs # download latest version of binary
cd ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare
mv git-lfs git-lfs~ # move old binary out of way
ln -s /usr/local/bin/git-lfs # symlink to binary

I had to replace the binary in /Applications/SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources/git/libexec/git-core/, cause SparkleShare tries to replace git-lfs in ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin. That leeds to this error:

[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Applications/SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources/git/libexec/git-core/git-lfs" or "/Users/funkyusername/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/bin/git-lfs" is denied.

Is this on M1? It could be that Git LFS isn't compiled for the platform...

[andibraeu]

nope, in my case it's Intel. It happens since the update to Ventura
