Method: Chef::Node#consume_chef_environment

Defined in:
lib/chef/node.rb

#consume_chef_environment(attrs) ⇒ Object

chef_environment when set in -j JSON will take precedence over -E ENVIRONMENT. Ideally, IMO, the order of precedence should be (lowest to

highest):
 config_file
 -j JSON
 -E ENVIRONMENT

so that users could reuse their JSON and override the chef_environment configured within it with -E ENVIRONMENT. Because command line options are merged with Chef::Config there is currently no way to distinguish between an environment set via config from an environment set via command line.
