Satellite hammer cli can't synchronize capsule content by environment name

Environment

Red Hat Satellite or Proxy
6.0

Issue

It appears that you can't synchronize capsule content by environment name.

However you can by environment id.

Referencing by environment name does not work

[root@acme123 cript]#
[root@acme123 script]# hammer -u admin -p changeme capsule content synchronize --environment 'development' --name 'capsule1.acme.com'
Could not synchronize capsule content:
  Error: environment not found
[root@acme123 script]#

[root@acme123 script]# hammer -u admin -p changeme lifecycle-environment list --organization ACME

Referencing by environment id works

[root@acme123 script]# hammer -u admin -p changeme capsule content synchronize --environment-id 3 --id 2

Resolution

Reference By ID:

[root@acme123 script]# hammer -u admin -p changeme lifecycle-environment list --organization ACME
