permission denied when trying to sudo --edit sample.yml

remi / teamocil

There's no I in Teamocil. At least not where you think. Teamocil is a simple tool used to automatically create windows and panes in tmux with YAML files.

First it complains about not having write permission so I run it with sudo. i.e. sudo teamocil --edit sample prompts for password I type in password I get: sh:/.../sample.yml: Permission denied

What is the value of your $EDITOR variable?

$ echo $EDITOR

In README.md it says:

Option	Description
--edit	Opens the layout file with $EDITOR instead of executing it

You should set your $EDITOR variable to something like vim or nano. That will fix the issue :smile:
