Description
A "debugg-ability" issue.
current state
The failure we see in test output is:
[FAILED] Expected
<int>: 3
to match exit code:
<int>: 0
In [BeforeEach] at: /go/src/github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-acceptance-tests/helpers/services/sso.go:46
Which corresponds to a non-zero exit code when curling the api info url. However, this is misleading. When we print out what the api info url is:
fmt.Println("apiInfoEndpoint is: ", apiInfoEndpoint)
right before a failed curl. We see that the value of apiInfoEndpoint is:
apiInfoEndpoint is: http://{
"error": true,
"message": "undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass",
"path": "http://cats-1-brkr-0007082c607e17d8.uaa-acceptance.cf-app.com/cf_api_info_url",
"timestamp": "2024-01-02 15:56:42 +0000",
"type": "500",
"backtrace": [
...
As a comparison, right before a successful curl. The value of apiInfoEndpoint is: http://api.xxx.cf-app.com/v2/info.
This shows that an error from earlier code path was not caught.
After tracing backward the code path, we suspect that this code somehow is not able to detect an error. Is it an issue in http.Client or in the broker's /cf_api_info_url endpoint?

Research direction
Read helpers/services/sso.go around line 46 and helpers/services/broker.go around lines 138-144, then run the SSO Lifecycle tests to reproduce the misleading curl failure. Trace how the broker's /cf_api_info_url response becomes apiInfoEndpoint and determine where the earlier error should be surfaced; done means the test reports the underlying broker error instead of only a non-zero curl exit code.
