Specify which environment to load in tinker command

[girardinsamuel]

• Would be great to be able to specify which environment to use when running python craft tinker maybe with

python craft tinker --env production

default would be development

• It would be great to display the current environment at tinker start: Environment: production.

Or is it useless as we can do something like APP_ENV=production && python craft tinker ?

This is actually a feature from Django, in every commands you can override current env I find this really handy, and could be done in a command mixin:

class CanOverrideEnvironment:
    # add --env option which set APP_ENV and LoadEnvironment() for it

class TinkerCommand(Command, CanOverrideEnvironment):
    #...

the --environment flag is nice if we can set environment variables on the fly like that. Maybe keep this as a p4 issue and come back to it on request. In the meantime, the second option should work where you set the environments variables before calling the tinker command
