      * `puppet device` now uses its own device-specific cache for pluginsynced code (facts, types and providers). Previously it would have used the cache of any agent running on the same system.

      * `puppet device` now supports a `--libdir` option for overriding any pluginsynced code with a local directory for testing, and other extra-ordinary usecases.

      Release note draft, jb: - Prior to this release, the `puppet device` command failed if the environment specified in `puppet.conf` or with the `--environment` option was not 'production'. This issue is fixed. Now `puppet device` uses its own device-specific cache for pluginsynced code (facts, types, and providers). Additionally, `puppet device` now supports a `--libdir` option for overriding any pluginsynced code with a local directory for testing. [PUP-8766](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-8766)

    Description

      The puppet device command fails with when environment is not 'production' and environment is specified locally in either puppet.conf or via the --environment option ...

      [root@pe-201810-agent ~]# puppet device --verbose --environment=development
      		 
      Error: Could not run: undefined method `loaders' for nil:NilClass

      It succeeds if environment is server-specified ...

      [root@pe-201810-agent ~]# puppet device --verbose #--environment=development
      		 
      Info: starting applying configuration to cisco.example.com at file:///etc/puppetlabs/puppet/devices/cisco.example.com.yaml
      		 
      Notice: Local environment: 'production' doesn't match server specified node environment 'development', switching agent to 'development'.

      Note that even when the agent is not in production, only the production directory is created locally:

      [root@pe-201810-agent ~]#  ls -al /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/
