🐛 Fix the description of ControlPlaneInitializedCondition is misleading

[13164815445]

…ncileControlPlane

What this PR does / why we need it:

cluster ControlPlaneInitializedCondition reports if the cluster's control plane has been initialized such that the cluster's apiserver is reachable and at least one control plane Machine has a node reference, but in the scenario where ControlPlaneRef is not nil, we cannot determine whether there is a control plane machine, and we can only judge by the ControlPlaneInitializedCondition of the control plane, so I think it is necessary to modify the description of cluster ControlPlaneInitialized

Hi @13164815445. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

I'm re-running the tests in case there's a flake, but I think the implementation here doesn't match the path laid out in #4936. @13164815445 there's a guide to running the end to end tests locally in the Cluster API book if you want to drill down on what the root cause of the test failure is.

I think we cannot just remove setting the condition because, as Vince mentioned, the two codepaths are mutual exclusive.

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/blob/7f879be68d15737e335b6cb39d380d1d163e06e6/controllers/cluster_controller.go#L477-L482

Will get executed when not using a ControlPlane provider

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/blob/bfc6f80add5c21b8dc2b704951f42bc14708ebc4/controllers/cluster_controller_phases.go#L238-L247

Otherwise.

So we still need both codepaths if I got it right.

Would be great to replicate the issue, check which of both codepaths is executed in the described case of the issue and check what could be done to only mark it to true if is okay to do so.

This is my problem, I didn't take into account the difference between setting and not setting controlplaneref

I want to add machine judgment in the reconcileControlPlane method, but I am not sure if there is a control plane machine in the scene if ControlPlaneRef is not nil

I think you are right, we still need both codepaths

If ControlPlaneInitializedCondition only means that the control plane is available, then it is correct now, I am wondering if I just need to change the comment

If a machine must be guaranteed to be available, then we must ensure that controlplaneref is not nil, and the control plane machine must exist
