nautobot_controller_test.go reconcile test fails — missing nautobotSecretRef setup

[geetikabatra]

Description

The scaffolded test in
nautobot_controller_test.go creates a Nautobot CR without setting nautobotSecretRef and expects Reconcile to succeed. It fails with:

failed to get nautobot auth token {"error": "nautobotSecretRef "" is missing a namespace"}
Steps to Reproduce

make test
The failing test is:

Nautobot Controller When reconciling a resource [It] should successfully reconcile the resource
nautobot_controller_test.go:79

Root Cause

The test creates a bare Nautobot CR with no spec fields populated:

resource := &syncv1alpha1.Nautobot{
    ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
        Name:      resourceName,
        Namespace: "default",
    },
}

When Reconcile runs, it reaches getAuthTokenFromSecretRef which requires nautobotSecretRef.Name and nautobotSecretRef.Namespace to be set.

Expected Fix

Provide a valid nautobotSecretRef — create a Secret in the test namespace and reference it in the CR spec
