Jenkins plugin won't render spaces selector if default Octopus connection is broken

Prerequisites

• [X] I have verified the problem exists in the latest version
• [X] I have searched open and closed issues to make sure it isn't already reported
• [X] I have written a descriptive issue title
• [] I have linked the original source of this report
• [X] I have tagged the issue appropriately (area/*, kind/bug, tag/regression?)

The bug

If the default Octopus Server connection in Jenkins encounters an error, such as a 403, the spaces selector will not render. If you switch the connection in your build definition to a connection that works, the spaces selector will not render. If you save, then come back into the build definition with a functional connection, the spaces selector will not render.

What I expected to happen

• While adding a step that uses an Octopus Server connection, the spaces selector should render when I switch from once connection to another.

• When editing an existing build definition that uses a connection other than default, the spaces selector should render.

Steps to reproduce

1. Define multiple Octopus Deploy plugin connections, one with a 403 error

2. Move the broken connection to the top of the list

3. Edit a build definition and add a Push packages to Octopus step

4. Spaces selector will not render

5. Change the Octopus Server in the Octopus Connection section to a functional connection

6. Spaces selector will not render

7. Move functional connection to the top of the list to make it the default.

8. Edit a build definition and add a Push packages to Octopus step

9. Select a space

10. Save build definition

11. Manage Jenkins and move the broken connection to the top of the list

12. Edit the definition you just saved

13. The spaces selector is no longer rendered

Workarounds

Changing the order of the connections so the one that's working is the default connection.
