environment parameter is not working as expected

[Jake Plimack]

I'm trying to override ENV['PATH'] for a python_pip command, but it's not working as expected.

this works, though

  ENV['PATH'] = "/opt/python-2.7/bin:#{ENV['PATH']}"
  python_pip new_resource.backend_name do
    new_resource.backend_attributes.each { |attr, value| send(attr, value) }
    Chef::Log.info "Installing storage backend: #{package_name}"
    action :install
    environment 'PATH' => "/opt/python-2.7/bin"
  end
