Fixes the Azure and Google problems in #9921 (BigAnimal is no longer in the wizard).

  • Azure interactive browser auth hung. Since the SchemaView rewrite (441cc57) the button's onClick no longer triggered the auth_btn dependency that fetched the device code, so the code was never shown, the sign-in window never opened and verify_credentials waited until it timed out. The click handler now fetches the code itself and updates the form via setUnpreparedData() so the code note is rendered. Polling stops when authentication finishes, the button is re-enabled after a failure, and the server discards the device code from an earlier attempt.
  • Raw <img> HTML in the progress message (Azure and Google): the wizard footer renders plain text since the XSS hardening, so the messages are now plain text.
  • "Azure CLI not found on path" on macOS: the runtime only added /usr/local/bin to the server's PATH; it now adds /opt/homebrew/bin too (Homebrew on Apple Silicon).
  • Google help link tried to quit the app: DOMPurify strips target, so links in help messages and notes navigated the main window away. FormComponents now opens them in a new window (rel="noopener noreferrer"), which also fixes the same links in the pgAgent and pgTimetable step dialogs. The Google help text is reworded.

Test plan

  • New Jest spec misc/cloud/azure_schema.spec.js: the device code is fetched and shown for interactive auth, and not requested for the CLI (it failed before the fix).
  • New FormComponents.spec.js cases: help-message links get target="_blank", and javascript: links are still stripped (the first failed before the fix).
  • New Python test test_azure_stale_auth_code (it failed before the fix); --pkg misc.cloud.azure.tests 16/16 pass.
  • Jest regression/javascript/SchemaView, components and misc/cloud all pass; eslint (web and runtime) and pycodestyle clean on the changed files.
  • Ran a desktop-mode server against the real Microsoft endpoint with the organizations tenant: get_azure_verification_codes returns the device code whilst verify_credentials is still waiting.
  • Not tested: completing a real Azure sign-in, the macOS Homebrew PATH change, or Google OAuth, since I have no Azure/Google accounts or Mac to hand.

Closes #9921

Walkthrough

The changes update macOS PATH handling, Azure credential and device-code flows, cloud authentication messages and guidance, and links in form help and notes.

Changes

Cloud Authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
macOS PATH setup
runtime/src/js/pgadmin.js
On macOS, /usr/local/bin and /opt/homebrew/bin are added to PATH only when they are not already present.
Azure credential and device-code flow
web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/azure/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/azure/tests/test_azure_stale_auth_code.py, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/static/js/azure.js, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/static/js/azure_schema.ui.js, web/regression/javascript/misc/cloud/azure_schema.spec.js
Credential revalidation removes the prior azure_auth_code. Azure authentication tracks and stops device-code polling. Credential changes and authentication results update schema state, and interactive-browser authentication displays the returned device code. Tests cover browser and CLI authentication.
Google authentication messages and guidance
web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/static/js/google.js, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/static/js/google_schema.ui.js
The progress message uses plain translated text. The client-secret help text links to the Google Cloud “Manage OAuth Clients” page.

Form Help Links

Layer / File(s) Summary
Help-link rendering and validation
web/pgadmin/static/js/components/FormComponents.jsx, web/regression/javascript/components/FormComponents.spec.js
Help and note HTML uses parseHelpHTML, which adds target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" to links with an href. Tests cover HTTPS links and javascript: links.

Azure interactive sign-in can show a stale device code, or stall without a retry path if code polling fails. The Google client-secret help text still links to an article marked out of date. Resolve the Azure issues before merging.

Explanation

The changes implement the Azure fixes in [#9921], including interactive device-code handling, stale-code removal, CLI path support, and retry-state tests. The changes also update Google message and link handling. However, [#9921] remains open and requires a usable BigAnimal authentication and cluster-creation path. The reviewed wizard exposes AWS, Azure, Google, and Starfleet, but no BigAnimal path. The PR does not provide evidence that removing BigAnimal is an accepted resolution for [#9921].

…gadmin-org#9921

The Azure interactive browser authentication never showed the device
code or opened the sign-in window, because the button no longer
triggered the change that fetched the code; the request then waited
until it timed out. Fetch the code directly from the button handler,
update the form through the schema state so the code is displayed, stop
polling once authentication finishes, let the user retry after a
failure, and discard the code from an earlier attempt on the server.

The Azure and Google progress messages showed raw HTML, as the wizard
footer now renders plain text.

On macOS, add /opt/homebrew/bin to the PATH of the server process so an
Azure CLI installed with Homebrew on Apple Silicon is found.

Links in form help messages and notes navigated the main window away,
because DOMPurify drops the target attribute, prompting the desktop app
to quit. Open them in a new window instead, and reword the Google client
secret help text.

Closes pgadmin-org#9921
…, and update the Google OAuth help link.

Re-enabling the button when the device code arrived let a second click
start a second server-side attempt, whose success could then be wiped
out by the late settlement of the first. Add tests for that, and for the
authentication being reset when the tenant id changes.
…tial tests.

The dialog moves the focus to its first input 200ms after opening. On a
loaded CI runner the test was still typing the tenant id at that point, so
the remaining keystrokes went to the authentication type toggle and the
field held only part of the value (or nothing, leaving the button disabled).
…s pending.

Otherwise the late success of an attempt for the old values would be
taken as authentication for the new ones, enabling Next whilst the
server's cached credential is still bound to the old tenant.

🟠 Major · Initialize the new attempt before polling. · azure_schema.ui.js:162-164

web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/static/js/azure_schema.ui.js:162-164
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Initialize the new attempt before polling.

On a retry, verify_credentials() removes the previous code from its request-local session and then waits in validate_azure_credentials(). write_session_through() only marks the session for saving at the end of the request. The independently started polling GET can therefore load the previous code and stop before the new code is stored.

Use a short initialization step that clears and persists the new attempt before polling starts, or associate each returned code with an attempt identifier. Calling write_session_through() before the blocking validation is not sufficient because it does not save the session immediately.
