Can you associate a mistral workflow execution with an environment via the CLI?

I can create an environment, and I can create a workflow execution. But I don't see any way via the CLI to associate a workflow or a workflow execution with an environment

usage: mistral environment-create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
                              [-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
                              [--print-empty] [--noindent]
                              [--prefix PREFIX]
                              file

usage: mistral workflow-create [-h] [-f {csv,json,table,value,yaml}]
                           [-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
                           [--print-empty] [--noindent]
                           [--quote {all,minimal,none,nonnumeric}]
                           [--public]
                           definition

usage: mistral execution-create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
                            [-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
                            [--print-empty] [--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
                            [-d DESCRIPTION]
                            workflow_identifier [workflow_input] [params]

When you define an environment inline, you pass it with the "env" key as part of the [params] argument (which is in JSON format IIUC). I'm not sure how that applies to predefined environments created through the API though.

Thanks! This solves my problem.

It was confirmed in IRC that the following works, where my_env is the name of the predefined environment mistral execution-create $WORKFLOW '' '{"env": "my_env"}'

I don't think there is a way to link a pre-existing environment. You could, however, have a task in the workflow that fetches the environment. This workflow takes the name of a environment, it then fetches it and outputs the contents of the environment.

wf:
  input:
    - env_name
  tasks:
    get_env:
      action: mistral.environments_get name=<% $.env_name %>
      publish:
        env: task(get_env).result.variables
      on-complete: do_something
    do_something:
      action: std.echo output=<% $.env %>

Thanks. I guess I don't understand when the pre-existing environments are ever used then.

This worked me too, provided that mistral.environments_get is working. I bet d0ugal's example worked when he posted it. I ran into an issue where it didn't work for me with mistral client 3.1.0 until I applied a fix destined for 3.1.1.
