Hi @haakon-e

It is strange to see this error.

It looks like the file does not have the correct file permissions for git-mob to modify it.

Make sure the file has write permissions.

File permissions

I get the same error here. The .gitmessage file is present in the user's home dir and has 644 perms.

Very strange, I can't reproduce.

I wonder if anyone else is having this issue.

Have you tried to delete the .gitmessage file then reload the git mob extension?

I am not sure how .gitmessage works but is it always a file in ~/ ? I don't have that file there and the error appeared out of nowhere. Intel Mac user here.

Do you use git mob cli and do you see the same issue?

I have no issues with the CLI, although I only use the VSCode Extension.

tl;dr

Workaround for v1.20.0

Run this in your terminal

git config --global commit.template ~/.gitmessage

Reload vscode

Got it working by downgrading the extension to the previous release (v1.19.0).

Something must have changed regarding the handling of .gitmessage in the v1.20.0 release.

After inspecting changes in diffs for the vscode extension (https://github.com/rkotze/git-mob-vs-code/compare/v1.19.0...v1.20.0) and the core dependency (https://github.com/rkotze/git-mob/compare/v2.4.1...v3.2.2), I tried to set the git config commit.template to ~/.gitmessage and it worked!

Not sure what the problem is but that could point @rkotze in the right direction to reproduce, maybe you already had that in your .gitconfig file?

EDIT: Weird thing is now I can remove the commit.template config and everything still works 🤔 Not sure why.

I was able to reproduce the error and hopefully this issue is now fixed with the release of v1.20.1

Thank you all for capturing this issue and patience.
