OCPBUGS-90834: Fix empty vSphere connection details after upgrade

[stefanonardo]

Analysis / Root cause:

The initialLoad function in use-connection-form.ts reads connection details exclusively from Infrastructure.spec.platformSpec.vsphere.failureDomains[0]. The API spec marks this field as +optional, but the code has an implicit hard dependency on it. Clusters installed via UPI or originally installed before 4.13 may not have failureDomains populated — it is set by the IPI installer but never backfilled during upgrades. This causes all vSphere connection fields to display as empty in the Overview dashboard.

Solution description:

When failureDomains is empty/missing, fall back to parsing the INI-format cloud-provider-config ConfigMap, which is always present on vSphere clusters. The ConfigMap is already fetched by the dashboard framework and passed as a prop — no new API calls needed.

• Restore parseKeyValue utility for INI parsing (removed as dead code in CONSOLE-5037)
• Add loadFromConfigMap fallback in use-connection-form.ts
• Extract loadCredentials helper to avoid duplication between the two code paths
• Pass cloudProviderConfig from VSphereConnectionModal to useConnectionForm
• Add unit tests for parseKeyValue and initialLoad covering all scenarios

Screenshots / screen recording:

Test setup:
vSphere cluster where failureDomains is not populated in the Infrastructure resource (UPI or upgraded from pre-4.13).

Test cases:

• failureDomains populated → reads from Infrastructure CR (existing behavior, unchanged)
• failureDomains empty + INI ConfigMap → falls back to ConfigMap parsing
• failureDomains empty + no ConfigMap → returns empty values
• vcenterplaceholder → returns empty values with isInit=true
• vCenterCluster extracted from resourcepool-path in ConfigMap fallback

Browser conformance:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari (or Epiphany on Linux)

Additional info:
This is a recurring pattern — OCPBUGS-35321 reported the exact same symptom for 4.15.11.

Walkthrough

The vSphere connection form now receives cloud-provider ConfigMap data. It parses fallback connection settings, loads credentials through a shared helper, and initializes fields from failure domains or ConfigMap values. Tests cover parsing, fallback loading, credentials, and cluster extraction.

Changes

vSphere connection configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
ConfigMap parsing contract frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/components/utils.ts, frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/components/__tests__/utils.spec.ts	Adds parseKeyValue for INI-style configuration and tests quoted values, invalid lines, sections, empty input, complete ConfigMap data, and base64 round trips.
Fallback connection loading frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/hooks/use-connection-form.ts, frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/hooks/__tests__/use-connection-form.spec.ts	Loads connection fields from failure domains or ConfigMap data. Centralizes credential loading and covers empty, placeholder, fallback, and nested resource-pool configurations.
Modal configuration propagation frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/hooks/use-connection-form.ts, frontend/packages/vsphere-plugin/src/components/VSphereConnectionModal.tsx	Passes cloudProviderConfig into useConnectionForm and reloads initialization when the configuration changes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 92d2b

The ConfigMap fallback may not populate vSphere connection details when the ConfigMap loads after the initial render, and overlapping loads could display stale values. The effect lifecycle should be corrected before merging.

Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds only frontend Jest unit tests (describe/it) and no new Ginkgo e2e tests or multi-node assumptions.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff changes only frontend React/TypeScript form logic and tests; it adds no manifests, controllers, replicas, affinity, topology spread, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The diff changes only vSphere frontend TypeScript files. No OTE binary, Go suite setup, or stdout write was introduced; added console.error writes to stderr.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds only TypeScript Jest tests using describe/it. No Ginkgo e2e tests, IPv4-only assumptions, or external connectivity requirements were introduced.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The parent-to-HEAD diff adds INI parsing, ConfigMap loading, and tests only; it introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret comparisons. Base64 helpers are unchanged.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The PR changes only TypeScript/TSX source and tests; the complete diff adds no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, root, or allowPrivilegeEscalation settings.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The diff adds no sensitive logging. Existing secret-load console.error calls were moved into a helper; they log fixed secret identifiers and an error object, not credentials or ConfigMap contents.
