vim splash screen when using webkit-patch upload --git-commit=HEAD

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: NEW ---

[Robert Hogan]

When I try to use webkit-patch to create a new bug and attach a patch to it, I'm asked to enter the title of the new bug then next get a blank vim screen, well 'blank' in that it's the splash vim screen instructing how you to get started with using vim. I try entering text in it fine. But :x and :w tell me that I can't save my changes.

Presumably this screen should be displaying the changelogs to me so I can update them.

So this is what my attempt looks like. In the case below, I tried :e newfile, bit of editing and then :x. No changelog was included in the uploaded patch.

Was that diff correct? [Y/n]:

I guess it should be opening up the changelogs for editing but is not.
