Unexpected tASSOC, in a chef recipe. What's wrong?

I keep getting the an error when I try to use the environment attribute in a chef recipe:

git name do
        repository repo_url 
        revision "master"
        environment  { 'VAR' => 'whatever' }
        action :sync
      end

The error is :

ERROR: /tmp/vagrant-chef-3/chef-solo-3/cookbooks/JandJ/recipes/git_repo.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting '}'
==> default:            environment  { 'VAR' => 'whatever' }

I copied the example from the chef docs here

The correct syntax would be either

environment({ 'VAR' => 'whatever' })

or

environment 'VAR' => 'whatever'
