Couldn't load bundle

I’ve followed this tutorial API Middleware Test and everything was working (enabling plugins in control plane, creating bundle, uploading it to S3 bucket via mservctl cli tool, etc), as described until last step.

If I select custom auth, as stated in guide, every request to this API ends with HTTP 502. When I set it to open (keyless) and try to use debug tab to see the messages from middleware the very first I see is “Couldn’t load bundle, No bundle base URL set, skipping bundle”. I’ve checked twice that I did everything according to guide, but couldn’t find any issue.

Hi,

Unfortunately you cannot test plugins on the management gateway which is what the debug tab uses. This is why you’re seeing the error “Couldn’t load bundle, No bundle base URL set, skipping bundle”. You can only test against the edge gateway where plugins are enabled.

Could you provide the API definition you’re using please? That will be helpful in diagnosing this issue.

Cheers,
Pete

Oh, I see. Here is my definition (it’s a basic plain default stuff done according to guide)

That’s quite crucial information. I’ve just post a request to this ingress and the API replied correctly, at least there were no HTTP 502 errros, but I need to fiddle more to be sure that plugins are working. So I cannot use the URL that is displayed above API designer I just need to take URL from edge ingress? But then if I have two edges for different regions I loose the load balancing feature? I’m a bit confused.

You’re correct that the URL displayed in the API designer cannot be used with plugins. It was never load balanced but only points to the gateway that the designer uses for creating keys and other management functions.

The ingress gateway is alway region specific and already load balanced. See this Cloud FAQ. Appologies, there’s a typo in he FAQ, it should read:

Q1: Is an Edge Deployment considered highly available? Do I need to deploy multiple Edges to a single Data Center?

A: On a Production plan and higher there are at least two Gateway instances at all times, usually in different availability zones within a single region (in cloud provider terms).

So your edges in two regions are accessed via different ingress points but are load balanced within the region. I hope that makes sense?

Pete

I think I got it, thank you very much for the response.
