[EPIC] QA for SQLite backed cache / Vai / Server-side pagination

[richard-cox]

Angles

• Regression (no existing functionality with SSP disabled should break)
• Functional (new functionality should work)
• Performance (new functionality should work better than old)

High Level - Whats's changed

• List components have been updated
  • Many fixes, including loading indicator
  • (pending) now supports live updates to resources in list
• Side Nav cluster list has been updated to use SSP
• (pending) Some lists (resource types) have now been updated to use SSP
• (pending) labelSelector application is now done via API
• (pending) Create/Edit/Detail pages have been updated to avoid fetching all of a resource type

Affected Areas

• Side Nav
• (pending) Cluster Explorer
• (pending) Cluster Management
• Global Settings --> Performance

List of Regressions (WIP)

• All SSP lists
  • state is now sortable/filterable on metadata.state.name (instead of deduced one per model)
• Home Page
  • Clusters list
    • name now shows prov cluster name (instead of mgmt nameDisplay)
    • provider is now not sortable/filterable (given this is data from mgmt cluster)
    • CPU is now not sortable/filterable (comes from mgmt cluster)
    • Memory is now not sortable/filterable (comes from mgmt cluster)
    • Pods - is now not sortable/filterable (comes from mgmt cluster)
• Side Bar Cluster List
  • Clusters will now appear in order of status.condition.[type=Ready].status and not...
    • connected condition > ready condition > prov cluster ready condition > no prov cluster conditions in error
• Cluster Explorer
  • Cluster / node
    • role - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
    • internal ip - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
    • cpu - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local calculation)
    • ram - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local calculation)
  • Workloads
    • Global workloads list showing all types has been removed
  • All workload types
    • pod restarts has been removed for all workloads
  • Workloads / Jobs
    • duration is now not sortable (Implement more complex server-side pagination sorting #12815)
  • Workloads / pod
    • images is now not sortable (sorting on an array)
  • Storage / PersistentVolumes
    • pv source is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
  • Storage / configmap
    • keys is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
  • Storage / secret
    • secret data is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
  • Service Discovery / Ingresses
    • default backend is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)
  • Apps / Installed Apps
  • chart is now only sorted/filtered on name (and not version as well) TODO split into two columns?
  • chart upgrade is not now sortable/filterable (uses smarts locally to determine if one is available)
  • Apps / Repositories
    • type - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts git vs oci vs http)
    • url - is now not sortable/filterable (uses local smarts)

Concrete Area's to Test (WIP)

All list tests are blocked by #12734

• All Cluster lists
  • application of the hide-local-cluster setting
• Home Page
  • Clusters list
    • QA Blocker - Ensure RKE1 clusters can be searched/filtered by name #12890

• Cluster Explorer
  • Cluster dashboard / events list
  • Cluster / Events
  • Cluster / Node (now uses PaginatedResourceTable)
  • Workloads
    • All (minus previously done pods)
  • Apps / Installed Apps
  • Apps / Repositories
  • Apps / Recent Operations
  • Service Discovery / HPA
  • Service Discovery / Ingresses
  • Service Discovery / Services
