Error when running Che using CLI utility

[ghost]

Cannot run Che using the CLI on Linux.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Follow instruction here - https://eclipse-che.readme.io/docs/che-cli

Expected behavior:

Che starts

Observed behavior:

eugene@eugene:~/Stuff/che (master)$ ./che start
WARNING: No swap limit support
INFO: ECLIPSE CHE: FOUND IMAGE codenvy/che-launcher:latest
INFO: ECLIPSE CHE: LAUNCHING LAUNCHER
unknown flag: --e
See 'docker run --help'.
eugene@eugene:~/Stuff/che (master)$ 

The error occurs when CHE_LOCAL_CONF_DIR is exported in the system. Unsetting it fixes the problem.

This may not be a bug. This looks like possibly a caching issue. The --e environment variable was removed from the che.sh script in a recent version. It should only be using --env now when making calls to the codenvy/che-launcher. And the launcher itself didn't seem to make it far enough to call the codenvy/che-server.

Can you wipe your che.sh and grab the latest from master for another test. Also, try ./che info.

[TylerJewell]

Ok - we diagnosed this to a bug with bash "echo" command. For some reason if --env-file is in a bash string, then echo interprets -e as a flag and ignores the n. The solution is to hard code --env-file into the docker run syntax.

Resolved as part of #2119
