Rails 5.2 encrypted credentials not saving

I also had this problem with using atom as editor. I have tried:

EDITOR="atom --wait" rails credentials:edit

and

EDITOR="atom -w" rails credentials:edit

but no results. Finally, I used nano (ubuntu):

EDITOR="nano" rails credentials:edit

For me, this works fine. Maybe, it will be helpful for someone, as an alternative.

If you aren't using vim, you need to add a wait flag to the editor.

e.g for atom:

EDITOR="atom --wait" rails credentials:edit

I ran into the same thing and found the answer here.
