VS 2017 Git Local Commit DB lock error on every commit

Question

We are getting this error on every local commit      Git failed with a fatal error error    open   vs XXXXXX Dev Library v15 Server sqlite3 db lock    Permission   deniedfatal  Unable to process path    vs XXXXXX Dev Library v15 Server sqlite3 db lock   This is a brand new installation of VS 2017 using the local git repository before it can sync to Azure DevOps GIT   We can manually delete the lock file and then sync fine  but it seriously slows down the development process  having to close  delete  open  commit every time    Does anyone know a better long-term fix for this issue

Step 1  Add  vs  to your  gitignore file  as said in other answers      Step 2  It is important to understand  that step 1 WILL NOT remove files within  vs  from your current branch index  if they have already been added to it  So clear your active branch by issuing   git rm --cached -r  vs     Step 3  Best to immediately repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other active branches of your project as well  Otherwise you will easily face the same problems again when switching to an uncleaned branch   Pro tip  Instead of step 1 you may want to to use this official  gitingore template for VisualStudio that covers much more than just the  vs path  https   github com github gitignore blob master VisualStudio gitignore  But still don t forget steps 2 and 3

VS 2017 Git Local Commit DB lock error on every commit  This issue must have been caused by a corrupt  ignore file   If your IDE is Visual Studio please follow these steps to resolve this issue    Delete the  gitignore file from your project folder Go to Team Explorer Go to Home in Team Explorer Go to Settings Under GIT  Click Repository Settings Under - Ignore  amp  Attributes Files - Under Ignore File - Click Add  You should see a notification that the Ignore File has been successfully created Build your solution  It will take a little while and create a new  ignore file once build is successful You should now be able to Commit and Push without any further issue   NB  Bear in mind that your version of visual studio might place these options differently  I am using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition

Just add the  vs folder to the  gitignore file   Here is the template for Visual Studio from GitHub s collection of  gitignore templates  as an example  https   github com github gitignore blob master VisualStudio gitignore    If you have any trouble adding the  gitignore file  just follow these steps    On the Team Explorer s window  go to Settings       Then access Repository Settings       Finally  click Add in the Ignore File section      Done     This default file already includes the  vs folder

I had the same issue but I ve resolved by creating the  gitignore file   I ve also found a workaround that simply consists on removing db lock file from the  vs folder but you have to do it every single time and doing this for long makes this an annoying operation   The best way to solve this issue is to create the  gitignore file as suggested before  but I think that is good to mention also this workaround  just to general knowledge purpose   Regards  Tony Grinton
