Description of problem:

OCP Pipelines' console plugin is not able to resolve Tasks in a Pipeline when using the standard cluster resolver. Each task is resolved as "custom" instead, resulting in the inability to use the Pipeline Builder to add Tasks or modify their parameters, as well as a warning on the Task indicating the "Task does not exist".

This does not affect the cluster's ability to run the pipelines, which is fine, as the tasks are resolved correctly. Only the web view is impacted and unable to pull the proper spec.

Workaround: Using the ClusterTasks allows the Task to be modifiable in the Pipeline Builder, but ClusterTasks have been deprecated since 1.10, and are fully removed and unavailable in 1.17.

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

• OpenShift Pipelines 1.16, 1.17
• Supported version of OpenShift (tested on 4.16.10)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Pipelines 1.16
2. Create Pipeline with following manifest:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
  name: new-pipeline
spec:
  tasks:
    - name: git-clone
      params:
        - name: URL
          value: 'https://github.com/github/gitignore'  # Any barebones public git project will work here
      taskRef:
        params:
          - name: kind
            value: task
          - name: name
            value: git-clone
          - name: namespace
            value: openshift-pipelines
        resolver: cluster
      workspaces:
        - name: output
          workspace: source
  workspaces:
    - name: source
      optional: false
  params: []
  finally: []

1. In web console, in Pipelines dashboard, click Edit Pipeline to view Pipeline Builder
    

   Actual results:

Pipeline shows red exclamation point indicating warning, alternate text reads "Task does not exist". Task cannot be clicked to modify parameters.

Modifying pipeline yaml to use ClusterTask instead via

kind: ClusterTask
name: git-clone

shows parameters properly for tasks.

Expected results:

Pipeline shows Tasks without warning. Clicking Task shows parameters screen for modification.

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

Always

Acceptance criteria: 

Pipeline builder does not show warning for Tasks available via cluster resolver.
