Can't open Console Dashboard

[lgrossma]

When trying to open a Console Dashboard while logged in to an openshift cluster, no dashboard is opened. Instead, "Login in to a Cluster to run this command" notification appears. After logging in again and trying to open the console dashboard, the notification appears again, resulting in an infinite cycle.

root cause is likely:

• we added the check to tell if you are logged into a cluster recently
• the check we use is to see if the user is allowed to create pods in the current namespace
• since there is no current namespace set, this permissions check will return false or maybe fail

Seems to be the case. I can open the Console Dashboard if project is set.
