does /usr/bin/vim exist on your system? what other values for EDITOR did you try?

I've tried any console text editor available on my system (vim, nvim, nano, kak), but it still shows the same error.

I'm on Void Linux.

~ > whereis vim
vim: /usr/bin/vim /usr/share/vim /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1

~ > rbw edit GitHub

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

~ > which nano
/bin/nano

do you have the VISUAL env var set?

do you have the VISUAL env var set?

This did the trick, thanks.

I ran into the same error when VISUAL is set with editor flags, e.g.export VISUAL="emacsclient -c" or export VISUAL="vim -v". Editing without editor flags works though. Could this be related to insufficient escaping?
