Summary

  • Chrome's native autocomplete was saving and suggesting previously-typed values in ACM's typeahead/combobox fields (e.g. release image selection, automation template dropdown), and its suggestion popover visually obscured ACM's own dropdown options.
  • Both AcmSelectBase and react-form-wizard's InputSelect already attempted to disable this by passing autoComplete="off" directly to PatternFly's TextInputGroupMain, but that component only forwards a fixed allowlist of props (plus inputProps) to the underlying <input> — everything else, including autoComplete, was landing on the wrapping <div> instead of the actual input element.
  • Since virtually all typeahead/combobox usage in the codebase routes through these two shared components, routing autoComplete: 'off' through the working inputProps mechanism fixes the issue app-wide without touching ~30 individual consumer call sites.

Test plan

  • Added a regression test (AcmSelect.test.tsx) asserting the rendered <input> has autocomplete="off" for the typeahead variant; confirmed it fails without the fix and passes with it
  • npm run check (i18n, prettier, lint, tsc) passes clean
  • Full relevant Jest suite passes (AcmSelect, AcmMultiSelect, NamespaceSelector — 43 tests)
  • Manual verification in browser (npm run plugins) that Chrome no longer suggests/obscures options on the release image typeahead and automation template dropdown
  • CodeRabbit review run locally — 0 findings

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/ACM-42794

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved select input behavior by disabling browser autocomplete consistently.

Both AcmSelectBase and react-form-wizard's InputSelect already attempted
to disable native autocomplete by passing autoComplete="off" directly
to PatternFly's TextInputGroupMain, but that component only forwards a
fixed allowlist of props (plus inputProps) to the underlying <input> -
everything else lands on the wrapping <div> instead. As a result the
real <input> never received the attribute, so Chrome kept suggesting
and obscuring previously typed values in typeahead/combobox fields
(e.g. release image selection, automation template dropdown).

Route autoComplete through inputProps/resolvedInputProps, which is
the mechanism TextInputGroupMain actually spreads onto the input.

Verifies the AcmSelectBase typeahead variant renders its <input> with
autocomplete="off", so Chrome's autofill/autocomplete UI cannot mask
ACM's own dropdown options.

Walkthrough

Select inputs now set browser autocomplete through PatternFly input properties. AcmSelectBase merges the default with caller-provided properties. A typeahead regression test verifies autocomplete="off".

frontend/packages/react-form-wizard/src/inputs/InputSelect.tsx, frontend/src/components/AcmSelectBase.tsx, frontend/src/ui-components/AcmSelect/AcmSelect.test.tsx
Select inputs pass autoComplete: 'off' through input properties. AcmSelectBase removes the duplicate direct attribute. The regression test verifies the rendered autocomplete attribute.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 528ac

This localized change routes browser autocomplete settings to the actual typeahead inputs and adds regression coverage. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond routine follow-up on test accessibility coverage and minor style cleanup.

Move the input props object out of JSX.

Define the autocomplete props as a module-level constant and pass that constant to inputProps. This avoids a new object reference on each render.

Proposed refactor
+const TYPEAHEAD_INPUT_PROPS = { autoComplete: 'off' as const }
+
           inputProps={{ autoComplete: 'off' }}
+          inputProps={TYPEAHEAD_INPUT_PROPS}

As per coding guidelines, avoid inline functions or inline object/array creation in JSX.

ControlPanelMultiSelect and ControlPanelSingleSelect snapshots
previously captured autoComplete="off" on the TextInputGroupMain
wrapper div (the prior no-op placement). Update them to reflect the
attribute now landing on the real <input> element.

I would provide specific playwright test for this, wdyt?
the PR looks good!
Well done @Randy424 !

Thanks for verifying this manually, @Ginxo, glad the before/after matches expectations!
--correction on this thread:
I've opened a playwright test for this work that checks to see that "autocomplete='off'" is set in the HTML. See it linked above this comment. I wonder though, if this is not overkill for the issue itself. Playwright does not, at least to my knowledge, provide a good way to visually/programmatically confirm that the browser's autocomplete is or is not active. It might be enough to check the HTML for the autocomplete field and this is something that can be accomplished using our unit/snapshot tests. What do you think?
