In most situations, the CLI is created through the `NewDockerCli` constructor,
however, it's possible to construct a CLI manually (`&DockerCli{}`). We
should probably prevent this (and un-export the `DockerCli` implementation),
but currently have some code-paths that depend on the type being exported.
When constructing the CLI with this approach, the CLI would not be fully
initialized and not have the context-store configuration set up.
Using the default context store without a config set will result in Endpoints
from contexts not being type-mapped correctly, and used as a generic
`map[string]any`, instead of a [docker.EndpointMeta].
When looking up the API endpoint (using [EndpointFromContext]), no endpoint
will be found, and a default, empty endpoint will be used instead which in
its turn, causes [newAPIClientFromEndpoint] to be initialized with the default
config instead of settings for the current context (which may mean; connecting
with the wrong endpoint and/or TLS Config to be missing).
I'm not sure if this situation could happen in practice, but it caused some
of our unit-tests ([TestInitializeFromClient] among others) to fail when
running outside of the dev-container on a host that used Docker Desktop's
"desktop-linux" context. In that situation, the test would produce the wrong
"Ping" results (using defaults, instead of the results produced in the test).
This patch:
- updates the contextStoreConfig field to be a pointer, so that we are
able to detect if a config was already set.
- updates the `Initialize` function to set the default context-store config
if no config was found (technically the field is mostly immutable, and
can only set through `WithDefaultContextStoreConfig`, so this may be
slightly redundant).
We should update this code to be less error-prone to use; the combination
of an exported type (`DockerCli`), a constructor `NewDockerCli` and a
`Initialize` function (as well as some internal contructors to allow
lazy initialization) make constructing the "CLI" hard to use, and there's
various codepaths where it can be in a partially initialized state. The
same applies to the default context store, which also requires too much
"domain" knowledge to use properly.
I'm leaving improvements around that for a follow-up.
