Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: errors were not being handled in the survey library used for the vsphere wizard Consequence: user interrupts would not halt the program--only proceed to the next survey prompt--causing an interrupt because variables were not assigned in the survey Fix: handle errors from the vsphere wizard Result: when a user interrupts the installer will gracefully exit

Description Patrick Dillon 2020-05-28 12:19:45 UTC
Description of problem:
If a user provides an interrupt (CTRL + C) when selecting vSphere platform options from the survey:

1. the survey does not stop
2. a panic occurs

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ ./openshift-install create install-config --dir int
? SSH Public Key <none>
? Platform vsphere
? vCenter [? for help] (PRESS CTRL + C)
? Username [? for help] (PRESS CTRL + C) 
? Password [? for help] (PRESS CTRL + C)
INFO Connecting to vCenter                        
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x198f047]

goroutine 1 [running]:
github.com/openshift/installer/pkg/types/vsphere.CreateVSphereClients(0xd954cc0, 0xc00012f3e0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, ...)
[truncated]

Expected results: 

The installer should handle the interrupts gracefully.

Additional info:
This is due to the fact that the vSphere survey does not have error handling.

Comment 3 jima 2020-06-01 07:21:18 UTC
The bug is verified with nightly build: 4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-05-31-230932.

”Ctrl+Z" can interrupt the installation and exit from survey with vsphere platform option.
