Wait command line flag not working in High Sierra (3156 and 3143)

#1

Running High Sierra and subl -n -w myfile.txt does not return after I close or quit.

It starts two processes, “Sublime Text” and “subl”. When I quit sublime, it only kills the “Sublime Text” process, not the “subl” process.

If I explicitly kill the subl process, obviously subl returns in the command line.

doesn’t -w require you to specify a file for which it will wait until it is closed?

You’re right, the issue is different when I do specify a file (or use it as the git editor, etc). Updated the original issue.

does it make a difference if you close only the myfile.txt tab instead of the whole ST window?

It’s the same outcome whether I close just the tab, or the window, or quit the application
