ansible-vault create foo.yml returns [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[Patrick S]

Hi,

I'm running version 1.6.2 and when going through the documentation and
copying the ansible-vault create example:

ansible-vault create foo.yml


The following is returned:
ansible-vault create foo.yml
Vault password:
Confirm Vault password:
ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

When running the encrypt command, on the other hand, it is able to encrypt
the file.
Sadly, from the encrypted state, then running the edit command returns the
usual '[Errno 2]' error.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you :-)

Hmm, that's curious.

Do you have permissions on the current directories and such?

Anyway, 1.6.3 is the latest release version - let us know if the problem
exists there.

Hi,

It turns out that when I echo'd $EDITOR in Ubuntu nothing was aliased.
Running EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim resolved the issue.

The error message put me on the wrong tracks in the sense that 'No file or
directory' is not quite the same as something such as 'No default editor
set'.

I hope this helps others.

Ok please make sure there's a github ticket filed on this one and we can
look at better error reporting when EDITOR is not set.

Thanks!
