puppet_agent installer not upgrading windows nodes when in a non-production environment

puppet_agent installer not upgrading windows nodes when in a non-production environment

To replicate issue:

 Install 1.10.5 on windows agent.

Classify node to agent specified environment ‘test’

Run puppet agent on ‘test’ environment

Attempt to upgrade using puppet_agent module to 5.5.8

On puppet run 'Puppet_agent::Windows::Install/Exec[install_puppet.ps1]/returns: executed successfully' is shown however the agent is not upgraded

Error shown in installer log:

C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/sys/ruby/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/environments.rb:38:in `get!': Could not find a directory environment named 'test' anywhere in the path: C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/code/environments. Does the directory exist? (Puppet::Environments::EnvironmentNotFound)

No test folder located in C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/code/environments - only production

Deleting the production folder will result in an empty being recreated on the next puppet run if environment set to production.

Creating an empty test folder in the directory manually will allow the upgrade to complete

There is another bug regarding environments and the puppet_agent module:

 I tested the associated pull request but this didn't resolve this new issue.
