Issue with Git Committing in 4.5.1

A few days ago I ported an existing instance of Che to 4.5.1. It worked initially, but today when I booted up it downloaded a new docker container even though there was a snapshot. Now it’s telling me I can’t commit because my name and email are not set in the preferences area. I am able to start up the workspace and run other commands, but Git no longer works. This is the error that shows up:

I’m not sure if it’s related, but after upgrading to 4.5.1 I can no longer access my workspace terminal from the command line either. Here is the error from that:WebSocket connection to 'ws://192.168.99.6:32778/pty' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Che version: 4.5.1 **OS and version:**Centos 7 Docker version: 1.12 Che install: Server (zip) local

Additional information:

• Problem started happening recently, didn’t happen in an older version of Che: Yes
• Problem can be reliably reproduced, doesn’t happen randomly: Yes

I think it’s best that I go ahead and do that. No time recently to experiment. Looking forward to checking out the new versions.

@cstack89 Please let us know if there is anything we can do to resolve this issue. Many things have changed(for the better) with che 4.6 and now 4.7. You can always close this issue and reopen it when you have had time to test with the newer versions.
