Abort: could not find web.cacerts: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Mercurial \ cacert.pem

Question

I am new to Mercurial. I created a Bitbucket account, created a new private repo, and then tried to clone using the repo. I got this error: abort: could not find web.cacerts: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Mercurial \ cacert.pem

I'm not sure how to handle this, as Google has provided me with several different solutions that seem to vary depending on the specifics of the case, and I would prefer not to blame anything by changing the configuration file incorrectly. Please note that I use the built-in Mercurial in Sourcetree. Any ideas or help?

Answer 1

Open C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\hg_local\Mercurial.ini

And change:

cacerts=C:\Program Files (x86)\Mercurial\cacert.pem

with:

cacerts=C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\hg_local\cacert.pem
