This PR fixes a critical UnboundLocalError that occurs when using az connectedk8s enable-features to enable only the azure-rbac feature without enabling custom-locations.

Problem

The enable_features function in src/connectedk8s/azext_connectedk8s/custom.py referenced local variables final_enable_cl and custom_locations_oid that were only defined inside the if enable_cl: conditional block. When users enabled azure-rbac without custom-locations (enable_cl is False), these variables were never initialized, causing an UnboundLocalError when the function tried to build the final helm command.

# This would fail with UnboundLocalError
az connectedk8s enable-features --resource-group myRG --name myCluster --features azure-rbac

Root Cause

The variables were defined conditionally but referenced unconditionally:

# Variables only defined here when enable_cl is True
if enable_cl:
    final_enable_cl = True
    custom_locations_oid = "some-object-id-value"

# But referenced here regardless of enable_cl value
final_command = helm_upgrade_command + [
    "--set", f"systemDefaultValues.customLocations.finalEnabled={final_enable_cl}",  # UnboundLocalError!
    "--set", f"systemDefaultValues.customLocations.finalOid={custom_locations_oid}"  # UnboundLocalError!
]

Solution

Added defensive initialization of these variables with safe defaults before any conditional assignment:

# Initialize variables with safe defaults before conditional assignment
final_enable_cl = False
custom_locations_oid = ""

This ensures the variables are always available when referenced later in the function, regardless of which features are enabled.

Testing

  • Added comprehensive unit tests to prevent regression
  • Verified the fix resolves the UnboundLocalError when enabling only azure-rbac
  • Confirmed existing functionality continues to work for all combinations:
    • azure-rbac only ✅ (was broken, now fixed)
    • custom-locations only ✅ (still works)
    • both features ✅ (still works)
    • no features ✅ (still works)

This is a minimal, safe fix that preserves all existing behavior while eliminating the runtime error.
