Error: unable to find connection when removing a machine that was init with --ignition-path

[gaufde]

Issue Description

If a Podman machine was created using a custom ignition file podman machine init --igntion-path <path>, then this error will appear when trying to remove the machine:

podman machine rm with-ign
The following files will be deleted:


/Users/gaufde/.config/containers/podman/machine/applehv/with-ign.json
/var/folders/7m/z_f3vkmd6t30fhydp4z513gw0000gn/T/podman/with-ign.sock
/var/folders/7m/z_f3vkmd6t30fhydp4z513gw0000gn/T/podman/with-ign-gvproxy.sock
/var/folders/7m/z_f3vkmd6t30fhydp4z513gw0000gn/T/podman/with-ign-api.sock
/var/folders/7m/z_f3vkmd6t30fhydp4z513gw0000gn/T/podman/with-ign.log
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
Error: failed to remove machines files: unable to find connection named "with-ign"

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. podman machine init --igntion-path <path> <name> (FYI this won't work in podman 5.2.4, see Podman Machine VM config does not get created when an Ignition file is provided #23544).
2. podman machine rm <name>

Describe the results you received

The error can present itself in both of these ways:

podman machine rm <name>
Error: failed to remove machines files: unable to find connection named "<name>"

or

podman machine reset

Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
Error: 1 error occurred:
	* unable to find connection named "<name>"

Describe the results you expected

No error
