What version of meld do you have? David Aguilar seems to be the one who's contributed most of the meld code, perhaps he might have an idea about why this is happening. ``` ## Matthew Groth, 2017-05-17 04:28 Subject: Re: [fixed] error using `git mergetool --tool=meld` Message-ID: <449621d5-c645-c9e4-afc1-ad2a1226970e@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/449621d5-c645-c9e4-afc1-ad2a1226970e%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` I'm on Meld 3.16.0, OSX 10.12.4, git 2.12.2 and haven't changed any git or meld code. Let me know when its fixed so I can turn hasOutput back on? Thanks and good luck.
