must-gather-no-storagecluster

Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log
snippests):
------------------------------------------------------------------

When storagecluster does not exist, tmust-gather should skip or handle log collection accordingly, rather than throwing few inspect errors on the terminal:


E.g. must-gather throws following inspect error message when storagecluster does not exist(not-created/deleted). 


a) error for cephobjectstoreusers
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD collecting dump cephobjectstoreusers
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD error: error executing jsonpath "{range .items[*]}{@.metadata.name}{'\\n'}{end}": Error executing template: not in range, nothing to end. Printing more information for debugging the template:
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD         template was:

[must-gather-g7fx7] POD

b) error for some snapshot related ceph outputs (see attached file)

[must-gather-g7fx7] POD
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD


P.S: In the absence of storagecluster, it should skip collecting few of these outputs and not attempt to create helper pod, followed by attempt to collect ceph outputs(which then throws few inspect errors)

Version of all relevant components (if applicable):
--------------------------------------------------
OCS 4.6 = 4.6.0-147.ci 


Does this issue impact your ability to continue to work with the product
(please explain in detail what is the user impact)?
------------------------------------------------
No. But there are a few error messages on the terminal, which can be misleading. 

Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge?


Rate from 1 - 5 the complexity of the scenario you performed that caused this
bug (1 - very simple, 5 - very complex)?


Can this issue reproducible?
----------------------------
yes always



Can this issue reproduce from the UI?
----------------------------------------
NA

If this is a regression, please provide more details to justify this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure

Steps to Reproduce:
------------------------
2 scenarios tested (both internal and external) to reproduce the issue

>> Scenario 1) Installed OCS operator and initiated must-gather
a)Operator Hub->Install OCS operator
b) When the operator pods are up and CSV is in succeeded state, initiate must-gather

oc adm must-gather --image=quay.io/rhceph-dev/ocs-must-gather:latest-4.6

Note: Do not install storage cluster

>> Scenario 2) Triggered Uninstall of OCS by deleting storage cluster ; initiate must-gather 

a) Delete storagecluster in a running OCS cluster (follow Uninstall docs)

$ oc delete storagecluster --all -n openshift-storage --wait=true --timeout=5m
initiate must-gather 

b) Once storagecluster and dependent ceph cluster are deleted, initiate must-gather

$ oc adm must-gather --image=quay.io/rhceph-dev/ocs-must-gather:latest-4.6



Actual results:
-----------------------
1. inspect error for POD collecting dump cephobjectstoreusers
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD collecting dump cephobjectstoreusers
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD error: error executing jsonpath "{range .items[*]}{@.metadata.name}{'\\n'}{end}": Error executing template: not in range, nothing to end. Printing more information for debugging the template:
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD         template was:
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD                 {range .items[*]}{@.metadata.name}{'\n'}{end}
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD         object given to jsonpath engine was:
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD                 map[string]interface {}{"apiVersion":"v1", "items":[]interface {}{}, "kind":"List", "metadata":map[string]interface {}{"resourceVersion":"", "selfLink":""}}
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD Error from server (NotFound): pods "must-gather-g7fx7-helper" not found

2. Re-tries for creating helper pod, even though storage cluster does not exists, so not needed.
[must-gather-g7fx7] POD waiting for helper pod to come up in openshift-storage namespace. Retrying 1




Expected results:
--------------------
a) there should not be "error executing jsonpath" error messages for cephobjectstoreusers when storagecluster is not yet created OR does not exist

b) No need to attempt creation of helper pod, as storagecluster/cephcluster is not present
