Cannot activate Git LFS 2 file locking workflow

[yutamago]

The checkbox is disabled and cannot be checked.

Git version: 2.16.1.windows.2 Git LFS version: 2.3.4 Unreal version: 4.18.3

Hi, I've just checked with the exact same versions (I updated git for windows for the test) and it's working as intended on my side.

Can you check the Log files, or post them here please ?

One of my team members tried the same with the same result. Today I can't check the checkbox above either. (Add a .gitattribute file to enable Git LFS)

Looks like it has problems finding LFS, but it's definitely installed. I can use it from the command line without problems.

How did you install git and lfs? I am using the Git for Windows 64 bits installer, with LFS, and adding Git and all command lines to the path (which is not the recommended install, I should try to reset all to default settings)

Also, I am away from any computer for the weekend...

On Mac, I found that despite git-lfs being distributed with recent versions of git, the plugin did not recognize the Git LFS until I ran brew install git-lfs.

Hi!

I have a similar issue. Cannot enable Git LFS 2 file locking workflow. I'm also on a Mac.

The logs only show me this:

LogSourceControl: Git plugin '3.03' LogSourceControl: Using '/usr/bin/git'

And when I try to edit, save, and checkout a file, log is full of errors like this:

LogSourceControl: Error: Failed to update repo on initialization. SourceControl: Error: git-lfs filter-process: git-lfs: command not found SourceControl: Error: fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly LogSourceControl: Error: Command 'UpdateStatus' Failed!

any ideas?

Thanks!

Is there already any solution for this issue?? I have the same problem as @yutamago and I can't activate this checkbox.
