All of a sudden RStudio is having difficulties with my ssh credentials.
When trying to push or pull in RStudio I get this error message:
'ssh_askpass: exec(rpostback-askpass): No such file or directory'
I am able to push or pull from the command line with no issues. I enter a command like git push, it prompts for a password and then it works.
When I look in RStudio Global Options | Git/SVN | SSH key the file path is correct and point to my ssh key. When I run through the ssh agent commands, all the outputs are correct. The key is active and the location matches up.
Operating system: macOS Monterey
What is causing this to occur? Why is RStudio not reading the ssh files correctly anymore?
You can get more attention from the developers if you formally file an issue report on the GitHub repository
This sounds a lot like this issue: Error when creating a new project from Github repository on MacOS · Issue #11693 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub
What version of RStudio are you using? (Go to Help -> About and click Copy Version Info, then paste here.)
That issue sounds like exactly what is occurring to me. I am using the version that is mentioned to be causing the issue.
RStudio Version:
RStudio 2022.07.1+554 "Spotted Wakerobin" Release (7872775ebddc40635780ca1ed238934c3345c5de, 2022-07-22) for macOS

There are other people within my company who have hit this issue within the last 2 weeks. This is really helpful, thank you for the response!
The work-around is to execute the git commands through the Windows/bash terminal.
