containers/auto-start BATS test fails on macOS with 1.15.0 release build

[jandubois]

I'm pretty sure this worked for me in RC testing, but now fails repeatedly on both macOS Sonoma (Intel) and Sequoia Beta (Arm):

 ✗ Verify that the auto-start config is created
   (from function `assert_file_exists' in file bats-file/src/file.bash, line 72,
    in test file tests/containers/auto-start.bats, line 42)
     `assert_file_exists "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/io.rancherdesktop.autostart.plist"' failed

   -- file does not exist --
   path : /Users/jan/Library/LaunchAgents/io.rancherdesktop.autostart.plist
   --

Same thing happens when I set the autostart option manually via either rdctl or the preferences dialog: it never creates the autostart plist file.

That test appears to have succeeded in https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/actions/runs/10316095503/job/28591674676, https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/actions/runs/10298581142/job/28504046163 and https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/actions/runs/10298581142/job/28504046990 (all failed later in the suite).

However, I can replicate the issue.

I think it's because my path management rewrite screwed up and threw an exception in enforce(), so it never got to the point where runRdctlSetup() was invoked:

rancher-desktop/background.ts

Lines 153 to 165 in 1500fd5

	await pathManager.enforce();
	if (newSettings.application.hideNotificationIcon) {
	Tray.getInstance(cfg).hide();
	} else {
	if (firstRunDialogComplete) {
	Tray.getInstance(cfg).show();
	}
	mainEvents.emit('k8s-check-state', k8smanager);
	}
	await runRdctlSetup(newSettings);
	window.send('preferences/changed');

Note that this was already fixed in #7297 (we catch any errors and report it instead of passing it up) but that's not in the release-1.15 branch.

Resolved with #7340 on release-1.15, and #7297 in main.
