Juju does not remember controller after register

[Aaron Bentley]

After a controller has been set with juju-register, change-user-password dies with:
no controller

Please either create your own new controller using "juju bootstrap" or
connect to another controller that you have been given access to using "juju register"

It appears that juju is no longer tracking the current controller.

As seen in:
http://reports.vapour.ws/releases/issue/57b489fe749a5611d0fafc16
(Note: only the end of the error message is shown in the console output.)

This behavior has started between commit 2f3dc472edc8825d0fdd5cf8683432c3820e5f99 and c143850d69db1fccf7cd5dc3ecb6ab80739dbd61.

I suspect the c143850d69db1fccf7cd5dc3ecb6ab80739dbd61 commit is the cause of the issue. Either the test itself is using a model connection (and thus this fails?), or something is wrong within juju-core itself.

We are not specifying controller at the commandline, and it is failing
to use the default. This is atypical-- we are usually explicit about
the controller, so it doesn't matter what the default is. I suspect if
we fix the test to be explicit about the controller, we will no longer
be affected by the bug in register.

I am using the modified version of this test (for the new add-user signature) but I need to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju-core/+bug/1613444 before being able to either reproduce or mark it as fixed.

[Horacio Durán (hduran-8)]

I believe this is fixed, but to confirm its pending a change by @veebers to the CI test which in turn is waiting for http://reviews.vapour.ws/r/5517/ to land

Fix committed pending a patch in CI by @veebers
