Unable to add extension tab to Edit Storage Class page

[sumeetsethy]

I am developing a new extension for Portworx and as a usecase, i need to add a new tab in StorageClass tabSection.

I have added the below code in my index.ts

The same code is able to add a new tab when i give resourceType as persistentvolumeclaim or some other resource type. but for storageClass it fails.

Let me know if i am missing anything.

Thanks for raising this issue, we'll take a look and see if it's a bug our side or if there's some missing config

Gm @sumeetsethy .

The documentation for adding Tabs through Extensions is clear on what is the expected location where those tabs will be added https://extensions.rancher.io/extensions/api/tabs , which is the details page of the given resource(s) you've defined on the function.

Currently we don't support adding Tabs for edit views, but for sure it's a good enhancement to the Extensions api.

Thank you for filling this issue. I'll mark this as an enhancement request so that we can add this new location.

When investigating #12069 the answer isn't clear

• ResourceDetails page controls both view and edit of components. Components with custom forms will contain an edit component
• Some edit components contain ResourceTabs
  • ResourceTabs pulls in the extension points for TabLocation.RESOURCE_DETAIL
    • https://github.com/rancher/dashboard/blob/master/shell/components/form/ResourceTabs/index.vue#L80
    • https://github.com/rancher/dashboard/blob/master/shell/components/form/ResourceTabs/index.vue#L251-L268
  • I couldn't see where we discern between view and edit though
    • lots of possible filtering via checkExtensionRouteBinding paramsToCheck
  • So for resources like persistentvolumeclaim tabs meant for just a detail page we also also shown them in edit views
• Some edit components, like shell/edit/storage.k8s.io.storageclass/index.vue don't pull in ResourceTabs, just Tabbed (i don't think this component supports tab extension points)
