[chef] Re: RE: Re: RE: Unable to set environment on a node during bootstrap

I ran into the same issue.

I worked around it by including an "environment" statement in the bootstrapped client.rb file.

The problem with this is that changing the environment then becomes a change in the file, rather than via knife, though not a problem in my location.

Rgds,
