Query node's environment from recipe?

I’m failing.

How does one determine the current node’s Chef environment from within a
recipe?

node[‘environment’] and node[‘chef_environment’] do not seem to be the way.

node.environment() should do it

node.chef_environment also works.

You can do the following on the node to get all its attributes

knife node show node_name -l -Fj (that a dash-lowercase-L)

This will show

{
"name": "london-routemanager",
"chef_environment": "arqiva-dev-nslice",
......
}

So now you know the that node.chef_environment will give you the node's environment
