auth0 branding templates update fails to open external editor and cancels

[jakeowenp]

Description

When running auth0 branding templates update on an m1 mac with an external editor (e.g. vscode) - story book spins up, then instantly closes, and the html file opens as empty.

Tried with multiple m1 macs and Intel i5 macbook pro and multiple text editors - vscode/webstorm/atom.

Have always tried changing permissions and access in mac but not working

Reproduction

1. set default editor in terminal to editor that requires new window, e.g. vscode
2. run auth0 branding templates update

Environment

Macbook Pro
M1
MacOs 12.0.0
16gb Ram

@jakeowenp did you ever get this working?

@jakeowenp @nickdaugherty I'm also stuck at the point this is describing and was curious if a solution was found?

@nickdaugherty @reujwils I had the same issue and was able to fix it by setting the EDITOR var like this

export EDITOR="code -w"

@eugenf Thanks, that worked for me 👍
