Story

As a Konflux user trying to create a component via the UI, I want proper validation of Git URLs so that I don't encounter cryptic errors from Pipelines as Code later.

When users create components in Konflux UI, they can enter Git repository URLs without proper protocol schemes (like "https://"). This leads to confusing errors in Pipelines as Code when trying to interact with the repository. We should validate URLs at input time to prevent malformed URLs from being stored.

Background

• User encountered error "unsupported protocol scheme" when trying to run pipelines
• Root cause was missing "https://" in Git URL when creating component
• PAC fails with cryptic error when processing these URLs
• Konflux UI PR #125 already implements automatic https prefixing, but we need proper validation
• Related build-service PR #384 exists but is stalled

Out of scope

• Changes to PAC error messaging (handled in separate issue)
• Changes to how PAC processes URLs

Approach

1. Add URL validation to Konflux UI component creation form:

• Must include protocol (http:// or https://)
• Must be parseable by standard URL parser
• Show clear error message if invalid
  2. Ensure validation happens both:
• During input (onChange)
• Before submission (onSubmit)
  3. Update backend validation in build-service to match

Dependencies

• KONFLUX-7692 - Related UI bug
• konflux-ci/konflux-ui#125 - Existing PR for URL handling
• konflux-ci/build-service#384 - Related build-service PR

Acceptance Criteria

1. UI shows clear error when:

• URL has no protocol
• URL is malformed (e.g., contains spaces)
• URL cannot be parsed
  2. Form cannot be submitted with invalid URL
  3. Valid URLs (http://, https://) are accepted
  4. Backend validation rejects invalid URLs with appropriate error
  5. Existing components with invalid URLs are handled gracefully
