[chef] api.get(/environments/NAME) is not returning JSON

[Alex Myasnikov < >]

Ohai Chefs,

 

I am trying to programmatically pull existing environment json for a given environment name off chef server via an authenticated API GET request to /environments/NAME endpoint

 

knife exec getEnvjson.rb

 

getEnvjson.rb:

 

require "awesome_print"

 

env = api.get("/environments/STAGE")

 

ap env

 

exit 0

 

What I am getting back is just STAGE text value instead of the expected fully blown json definition of the STAGE environment.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Running 11.4.0 chef server, thinking whether this is a known issue that’s been addressed in the subsequent releases and I should upgrade?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Alex
