[chef] Re: Re: Re: ERROR: RuntimeError: Please set EDITOR environment variable

The EDITOR is an unix/linux eviromental variable. If you echo $EDITOR in bash it should say vim. Else type the export command on one line then the knife command on the next.

± knife data bag create db creds --secret-file ~/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret        

Data bag db already exists

Even tried inline:

± EDITOR=vim knife data bag create db creds --secret-file ~/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret

Data bag db already exists

ERROR: RuntimeError: Please set EDITOR environment variable

I've the latest chef 10.16.2

When I issue the following cmd:

knife data bag create db creds --secret-file ~/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret

opens the vim and I write some configs and when I try to :wq (write n exit) it says

ERROR: RuntimeError: Please set EDITOR environment variable

I've even set the EDITOR var inline as well

EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim knife data bag create db creds --secret-file ~/.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret

Still the same error.

There is a issue filed and which says its been resolved at http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1340

But why I'm getting this error?
