How to solve this, Exception caught during execution of merge command. org.eclipse.jgit.errors.LockFailedException?

Question

When I pull using git this exception appears and I don't know what its say that Cannot lock /home/user/location/.git/index.

org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.JGitInternalException: Exception caught during execution of merge command. org.eclipse.jgit.errors.LockFailedException: Cannot lock /home/user/location/.git/index

Answer 1

For a record, Yes I already solved it, I just manually deleted /home/user/location/.git/index.lock. It works for me, but just remember you can find your .git/index.lock to the location where you've installed your git.

Answer 2

The above solution works really well. Actually, when you read the error message carefully it indicates something like this

• C:\talend\6.3.1\Talend-Studio-20161216_1026-V6.3.1\workspace.repositories\1015322431.git\talend\master\

index

follow the path your local machine and look for index.lock Go ahead and delete it.
