Changing default environment in Laravel 4

Question

In Laravel 4 the default configuration environment is \'production\'. This means that if you run an artisan command without the --env option, it assumes the product

Answer 1

Thanks Antonio for prompting me to reconsider domain detection.

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(
(
    // Empty string is to set development as the default environment for 
    // artisan commands.
    'development' => array('dev.foo.com', ''),
    'test' => array('test.foo.com'),
    'production' => array('www.foo.com', 'foo.com'),
));

Adding '' as a development domain effectively sets development as the default environment for artisan commands, presumably because the domain name is blank when the application is invoked from the command line. I tested and it seems anything == false will work. I also verified this does not interfere with the detection of the production or testing environments.
