Description

When using knife to boostrap a server, the boostrap_context.rb does not respect the environment that has been set when rendering the client.rb config file. As a result, the environment variable never appears in the client when the node is bootstrapped, causing it to not run within the environment specified via the knife client at runtime.

I was unable to reproduce this using Chef 0.10.4 and knife-ec2 0.5.8.

Note that the current convention is for the environment to be set from a chef-client command line option rather than via the client.rb.

This may be related to CHEF-2614, wherein a bootstrap template must utilize #start_chef to correctly set the node's environment on bootstrap.

As Steven mentions, #start_chef accomplishes this using -E and not by setting anything in the /etc/chef/client.rb

As we didn't hear back from you after he tried to reproduce this, I'm going to close this ticket. Please let us know if you're still having issues.
