php artisan --env doesn't work on Homestead

On homestead with/without APP_ENV defined (in homestead.yaml) the --env on php artisan doesn't work.

I've searched some problems related but no solution.

I've two database one for dev other for testing when I set --env testing the configuration doesn't change.

I always do it like this

php artisan migrate --database=testing

Then you need to update your connections array in the config/database.php file with this

'testing' => [
    'driver'   => 'sqlite',
    'database' => storage_path().'/testing.sqlite',
    'prefix'   => '',
],

Of course you can replace this with mysql as well, just copy over the mysql stuff and place your test stuff in there ;)

@jbryan.canas Thanks but no success.

@bobbybouwmann Thanks! It's not a environment change but works fine.
