  • Bug#1103255: /usr/bin/rails: No $EDITOR to open file in. Assign one lik

    From =?utf-8?B?0L3QsNCx?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 15 19:40:01 2025
    Package: ruby-railties
    Version: 2:6.1.7.10+dfsg-1~deb12u1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: Policy 11.4
    File: /usr/bin/rails

    Dear Maintainer,

    I just got
    $ rails credentials:edit
    No $EDITOR to open file in. Assign one like this:

    EDITOR="mate --wait" bin/rails credentials:edit

    For editors that fork and exit immediately, it's important to pass a wait flag,
    otherwise the credentials will be saved immediately with no chance to edit.

    Quoth Policy 11.4:
    Thus, every program that launches an editor or pager must use the
    EDITOR or PAGER environment variable to determine the editor or
    pager the user wishes to use. If these variables are not set, the
    programs /usr/bin/editor and /usr/bin/pager should be used,
    respectively. These commands may be invoked explicitly (e.g., as /usr/bin/editor) or via a PATH search (e.g., as editor).

    Best,

    Whoops, misread the "must" for using-$EDITOR-in-general as also applying
