Environment::get('development'); returning empty array

[DMcP89]

I am having some trouble with the Environment::get() method. From my understanding of the documentation found here: http://li3.me/docs/lithium/core/Environment::get() passing in the string of the name of an environment should return an array of the entire configuration.

I have my Connections setup as so:

 Connections::add('default', array(
        'development' => array(
           'type' => 'MongoDb',
           'host' => 'localhost',
          'database' => 'web_app'
        )
  ));

However when i call Environment::get('development'); it returns an empty array. Is there something I am missing? I tried calling Environment::get('default'); and it gave me a null.

I have set my environment to 'development' in my bootstrap file:

lithium\core\Environment::set('development');

I am not sure what else could be going wrong.

It's probably because the environment is lazily initialized here https://github.com/UnionOfRAD/framework/blob/f3b1c20a7228a529ec59b582fc033f9911b9551a/app/config/bootstrap/action.php#L42 by default in the famework repo.
This explains why it's not available at a bootstrap level.

I'm not sure I follow you. I tried removing the Environment::set call you mentioned but got the same results.

I did take a look at the Environment class in lithium/core/Environment.php and noticed this:

    protected static $_configurations = array(
    'production' => array(),
    'development' => array(),
    'test' => array()
     );

Should I be setting up my connections here instead and not in app/config/bootstrap/connections.php?

Don't remove it, just move the initialization call before using it in the bootstrap file.

Closing as this is not a bug.

@jails I am a little confused here, I put actions.php back to its orignal form and removed the Environment::Set call I was making in my bootstrap file. My connections.php file is still setup as described above, but now when I go to my site I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'lithium\core\ConfigException' with message 'No adapter set for configuration in class lithium\data\Connections
