[CouchDB] Modifying search input sometimes causes conflict errors

[ozyx]

Summary

When deleting characters in a search query while using CouchDB, sometimes a conflict error can be seen in the network tab of a PUT request against 'mine' (My Items folder).

This is caused by the myItemsInterceptor being triggered (this creates the 'My Items' folder if it doesn't already exist on startup) because a domainObject is being returned as undefined from an aborted CouchObjectProvider.get() request.

Expected vs Current Behavior

We should handle the case of aborted requests returning undefined domain objects

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Open MCT w/ Couch DB (openmct-quickstart might be good for this)
2. In the Grand Search, search for something and let the request complete
3. With the network tab open, one-by-one, remove a letter. Make sure to trigger Aborts by removing it in the middle of requests.
4. See the conflict error in the console / network tab
5. If you don't see it, refresh and try again. It's only ever triggered once for some reason.

Environment

• Open MCT Version: 3.3.0-next
• Deployment Type: testathon
• OS: any
• Browser: any

Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• Does this have an impact on Performance?
