Ruby bundle open, set $EDITOR

I am trying to use the command line to open the the jquery-rails gem. I am using the command: bundle open jquery-rails and I am getting the message returned: To open a bundled gem, set $EDITOR or $BUNDLE_EDITOR

Forgive me if this is totally newb, but how do I set my text editor Notepad++ like the message is telling me to? I am using windows vista/Rails 3.1

Thanks for any advice.

Solution

  • Because you mentioned Notepad++ I suppose you are working with Windows. You need to set an environment variable called EDITOR containing the path to Notepad++.
