core: cdk.json "qualifier" ignored

[thoward-godaddy]

Describe the bug

Setting qualifier attribute in cdk.json appears to not have any impact on running cdk bootstrap as it continues to use the default qualifier.

Expected Behavior

Setting the qualifier attribute in cdk.json should behave the same as running cdk bootstrap --qualifier <QUALIFIER_VALUE>.

Current Behavior

Running cdk bootstrap does not inherit the qualifier value stored in cdk.json

Reproduction Steps

Add a qualifier value to cdk.json:

{
  "app": "npx ts-node --prefer-ts-exts bin/app.ts",
  "versionReporting": false,
  "watch": {
    "include": [
      "**"
    ],
    "exclude": [
      "README.md",
      "cdk*.json",
      "**/*.d.ts",
      "**/*.js",
      "tsconfig.json",
      "package*.json",
      "yarn.lock",
      "node_modules",
      "test"
    ]
  },
  "context": {
    "@aws-cdk/core:bootstrapQualifier": "sample-app",
    "@aws-cdk/aws-apigateway:usagePlanKeyOrderInsensitiveId": true,
    "@aws-cdk/core:stackRelativeExports": true,
    "@aws-cdk/aws-rds:lowercaseDbIdentifier": true,
    "@aws-cdk/aws-lambda:recognizeVersionProps": true,
    "@aws-cdk/aws-cloudfront:defaultSecurityPolicyTLSv1.2_2021": true,
    "@aws-cdk-containers/ecs-service-extensions:enableDefaultLogDriver": true,
    "@aws-cdk/aws-ec2:uniqueImdsv2TemplateName": true,
    "@aws-cdk/aws-iam:minimizePolicies": true,
    "@aws-cdk/core:target-partitions": [
      "aws",
      "aws-cn"
    ],
    "@aws-cdk/core:newStyleStackSynthesis": true
  },
  "qualifier": "sample-app",
  "toolkitStackName": "sample-app-cdk-toolkit"
}

Run cdk bootstrap and observe resources being created using the default qualifier.

Possible Solution

Unkown, I'd assume the CLI should plug in the qualifier value from cdk.json if not explicitly provided as an option to the command.

Did you mean cdk bootstrap --qualifier <QUALIFIER_VALUE> works but it just ignores the pre-defined value in cdk.json?

Yeah, I'd expect it to use the value in cdk.json if the --qualifier option is not provided to the command.

When doing a cdk synth or cdk deploy using the cdk version "2.123.0 (build a594112)", this is being ignored and breaks our deployments:

"context": { "@aws-cdk/core:bootstrapQualifier": "myqualifier", }

Please fix this problem.
