getenv('SYMFONY_ENV') is empty in app/console from composer install, but OK elsewhere

To deploy my Symfony app on production I run the following command in a bash script:

php composer.phar install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

And I got the following error :

Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache handling the post-install-cmd event terminated with an exception

An error occurred when executing the "'cache:clear --no-warmup'" command.

This is because getenv('SYMFONY_ENV') in the app/console returns an empty value, while executing the commands from composer.json post-install-cmd. Therefore the $env value is not set to prod but to dev (default one).

However, the SYMFONY_ENV value is ok.

In the terminal, if I run:

printenv SYMFONY_ENV

It prints prod

If I run:

php -r "print_r(getenv('SYMFONY_ENV'));"

It prints prod

What I am missing or doing wrong ?

I just realized that I was running

sudo php composer.phar install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

instead of

php composer.phar install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

In my case (ubuntu 14.04), I had defined SYMFONY_ENV in /etc/environment and I thought it was accessible for all users, but it's not the case for sudo. I solved my problem running my command without sudo (because it had no reasons to be).

Another solution could be to run sudo -E php ... to preserve the user environment as suggested here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/161924/how-do-i-set-persistent-environment-variables-for-root
