[0xts]

Workspace

entity-validation

📜 Description

When an entity with either missing kind or an empty metadata field is validated, the plugin errors out, instead of reporting proper errors.

👍 Expected behavior

The plugin should properly flag missing kind and metadata to be a proper object type.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

It errors out instead of reporting the missing field.

When kind is missing ->

When metadata property is present without any content ->

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Go to entity validation plugin screen.
2. Try to validate an entity with kind or metadata key value missing.

📃 Provide the context for the Bug.

This bug doesn't flag an incorrect entity properly. This happens because the humaizeEntityRef from @backstage/plugin-catalog-react package expects entitiyRef.kind & entityRef.metadata.namespace to be available, even with the defaults provided.
