'Viewing Rails Credentials in WSL2

I'm following a guide which uses rails credentials but I can't edit the unencrypted file.

I first run EDITOR="code --wait" bin/rails credentials:edit --environment=development which creates development.key & development.yml.enc. However it fails to open up the unencrypted version of the file it showed in the guide.

I have tried EDITOR="code --wait" bin/rails credentials:show --environment=development which shows the file in the terminal with the expected AWS placeholder key and secret. It also provides a number of warnings. But I can't edit.

Are there any other methods to access Rails' unencrypted credentials from a WSL2 environment? I am presuming WSL2 is the cause of the issue...

Using NANO editor instead seems to work.

EDITOR="nano" bin/rails credentials:edit --environment=development

I'll leave the question up for anyone else with this issue.
