Yes, for puppet 0.25.5.
I just ran "/usr/local/sbin/puppetd --onetime --test --noop
--environment=WRONG --tags=notify", and I saw the client perform
"GET /WRONG/catalog/host.domain.example?...", but it received
the catalog for the correct environment (and stashed it in
/var/puppet/client_yaml/catalog/host.domain.example), and it performed a
"notify" whose text contains the correct environment name.
I repeated the test three times, with (1) an environment that does not
exist at all on the server, (2) an environment called "UNCONFIGURED",
which is the default as far as puppetmasterd is concerned, and whose
manifest contains not much more than a "fail" statement, and (3) a
more normal environment that just happened to be incorrect for this
client. I then repeated test (1) (but not the others) by specifying the
incorrect environment in puppet.conf instead of on the command line. I
received identical results every time.
I also know that the server was not trying to trick me by substituting
the correct $environment string into the notify message from the catalog
for some incorrect environment, because all environments contain 'node
default { fail "..." }', and the fail as not triggered.
Something that might be relevant here is that my external node
classifier prints this sort of output:
---
parameters:
environment: FOO
whereas somebody told me a few days ago that it's supposed to
put environment at the top level, not inside "parameters".
