Override puppet environment at the command line

[Kenneth Holter]

Hi all.

My puppet client has "environment = envA" defined in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, but I'd like to override this manuall at the command line: "puppetd --server puppet.master.com --environment=envB". This doens't seem to work, so it always run code from envA. Is there a way to override the environment variable like this?

Best regards,

Kenneth Holter

It should work with --environment=envB..

Which version are you running?  Could you share the puppet.conf in your master to see how you set the environments?

Once I had this issue and the settings were ok until I realized that in the client there were two conf files in /etc/puppet those were puppet.conf and puppetd.conf the latter was used in older versions of puppet.
