juju models doesn't honor $JUJU_MODEL

[Felipe Reyes]

Steps to reproduce:

1) create 2 models
   juju add-model m1
   juju add-model m2
2) switch to model m1
   juju switch m1
3) set env variable JUJU_MODEL to use m2
   export JUJU_MODEL=m2
4) List models
   juju models

Expected result:

Controller: freyes

Model Cloud/Region Status Machines Cores Access Last connection
controller xxx/xxx available 1 2 admin just now
m2* xxx/xxx available 18 41 admin 2017-02-13
m1 xxx/xxx available 12 17 admin 1 minute ago

Actual result:

Controller: freyes

Model Cloud/Region Status Machines Cores Access Last connection
controller xxx/xxx available 1 2 admin just now
m2 xxx/xxx available 18 41 admin 2017-02-13
m1* xxx/xxx available 12 17 admin 1 minute ago

juju models should print in green 'm2' and append '*'

I just noticed that 'juju switch' (without arguments) shows this same problem, from the help description: "Selects or **identifies** the current controller and model" (emphasis mine), so it would be expected that it prints the controller:model that juju commands will use in the absence of "-m MODEL"

@Felipe,

Could you please clarify what Juju version you are using?

$ juju --version
2.0.3-xenial-amd64

Thanks, Felipe!

I'll mark it as Won't Fix for 2.0 as we are not planning any further 2.0.x releases.

[Andrew Wilkins (axwalk)]

The fix for this is a little bit complicated, since there's interaction between $JUJU_MODEL, the current-controller value in the controllers.yaml file, and the -c flag.

$JUJU_MODEL may or may not specify a controller, i.e. it can have the syntax "controller:model", or just "model". In the latter case, the current controller is implied.

I think what we should do is prohibit use of "-c" if $JUJU_MODEL is specified, and set the controller name to the controller specified or implied by $JUJU_MODEL.

Removing 2.1 milestone as we will not be addressing this issue in 2.1.
