🐛 Entity-feedback: Entity Feedback Plugin: GET /ratings/:entityRef returns 404 in production, but /ratings?ownerRef works

[bchemsed1]

Plugin Name

Entity-feedback

📜 Description

The Entity Feedback plugin is experiencing inconsistent behavior in our production environment (EKS cluster behind a proxy). GET requests using query parameters work as expected, but requests using path parameters for entity references return a 404 error.

Request URL:
https://developer.ec1.aws.aztec.cloud/api/entity-feedback/ratings/component%3Adefault%2Fbuildon
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
404 Not Found
Remote Address:
44.***.109.***:443

Request URL:
https://developer.ec1.aws.aztec.cloud/api/entity-feedback/ratings?ownerRef=group%3Adefault%2Fcore
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
200 OK
Remote Address:
44.***.109.***:443

👍 Expected behavior

Both requests should return 200 OK with the appropriate data.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

The request with the entity reference in the path returns a 404 Not Found, while the request with the ownerRef query parameter works correctly.

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Deploy Backstage with Entity Feedback plugin to production environment
2. Make a GET request to /api/entity-feedback/ratings?ownerRef=group:default/core
   • Result: Returns 200 OK with expected data
3. Make a GET request to /api/entity-feedback/ratings/component:default/buildon-sandbox
   • Result: Returns 404 Not Found

📃 Provide the context for the Bug.

• This issue only occurs in our production environment. Local development setup works as expected for both types of requests.
• Other Backstage plugins and backend API endpoints are functioning correctly in the same environment.
• No custom modifications have been made to the Entity Feedback plugin code.

Hmm going to need a bit more info to try to debug this - do you see any log messages in the backend that corresponds to that 404 request? can you also provide what Backstage and plugin versions you're on?

Hello @kuangp,

We are currently using Backstage version 1.22.19.

Here are all the logs I see when I try to interact with the plugin:
