Opened this issue · 6 comments
Description of the bug
Sublime text fails to provide exit code to git when used as editor (subl -w) on exit (ctrl+q).
Steps to reproduce
preconditions:
sublime-text 4180, installed from https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html#apt
clean install, no plugins, started in safe mode
git 2.34.1
git config --global core.editor "subl -w"
mkdir /tmp/test
cd /tmp/test
git init
echo "test" >> test
git add .
git commit
... edit in sublime, save (ctrl+s), quit (ctrl+q)
result:
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Failed to receive exit code from application
error: There was a problem with the editor 'subl -w'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.
If I close with ctrl+w, then quit with ctrl+q, it works just fine.
Expected result:
return code 0 is provided to git, files are committed
Actual result:
> git commit
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Failed to receive exit code from application
error: There was a problem with the editor 'subl -w'.

By the way same behavior is when using it as EDITOR linux (e.g. for kubectl edit) and it is regression from last 3.x Sublime, where it works just fine (3211 I believe).
export EDITOR='subl -w'
I think it behaves the same way here, closing ST with alt+f4 works though (which I think I always do).
("native" Kubuntu 24.04)
To clarify: Are you using ubuntu 22.04 directly or under WSL2 with a Windows X Server?
Both. It happens both in WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04 under WSL2) and in native Linux Ubuntu 22.04.5 (my second machine).
