FileNotFoundException when using `post -h Content-Type=application/json`

[vborovikov]

I'm following the MS Docs guide for httprepl.

Here is my session with the tool

(Disconnected)> connect https://localhost:7063/
Using a base address of https://localhost:7063/
Unable to find an OpenAPI description
For detailed tool info, see https://aka.ms/http-repl-doc

https://localhost:7063/> ls
No directory structure has been set, so there is nothing to list. Use the "connect" command to set a directory structure based on an OpenAPI description.

https://localhost:7063/> cd api/author

https://localhost:7063/api/author> cd token


https://localhost:7063/api/author/token> post -h Content-Type=application/json
The default editor must be configured using the command `pref set editor.command.default "{commandLine}"`.

https://localhost:7063/api/author/token> pref set editor.command.default "C:\Program Files\EditPlus\editplus.exe"

https://localhost:7063/api/author/token> post -h Content-Type=application/json

I don't quite understand why the app can't create the required file. Am I supposed to run this tool in elevated mode? Am I missing something?

It looks like the problem is the text editor setting. But I can't make it work with Notepad either.

What text editors are supported by HttpRepl? And what would be preferred settings for Notepad?
