Description

@chrisdenman
chrisdenman
opened on Aug 14, 2025

JabRef version

6.0-alpha2

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Linux 6.8.0-71-generic amd64 / Java 24.0.2 / JavaFX 24.0.2+1

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Configure git ssh key signing.
  2. Run the tests.
  3. Tests that rely on git client commits fail.
