Using "subl -w" no longer works for $EDITOR

#1

I have it in my ~/.bash_profile that:

export EDITOR="subl -w"

where subl is a symlink from the subl in the application to ~/bin, which is in my $PATH. A few days ago (I updated to the macOS beta), this stopped working and the following appears in my prompt

Unable to find application named ‘subl’

Anyone have a similar issue, or a workaround?

Thanks!

Are you running it in tmux? I remember I had a similar issue when using tmux.

This is regular Terminal in macOS High Sierra.

How about opening file directly using subl? Are you using sublime as an editor for some operations, e.g. git commit?

Calling subl directly works just fine. I’ve narrowed it down further, and it seems like it isn’t an issue with Sublime Text. I think the problem is with the open command, as that’s what’s used by the patch script I’m using.

Sorry for the bother. Thanks!
