How to fix routes configuration for the gce ingress? - google-cloud-platform

Question

The ingress calls random services on requests, and also it calls the root (/). I need ingress to call the specified in the configuration service and send the full path to the service (I use MVC pattern so I need to provide the application with the full path to resolve the correct controller)
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: whatever
annotations:
ingress.kubernetes.io/add-base-url: "true"
ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: "/"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "gce"
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "my-static-ip-name"
spec:
tls:
- secretName: my-tls-secret
hosts:
- whatever.my-awesome-project.com
rules:
- host: whatever.my-awesome-project.com
http:
paths:
- path: /api/whatever
backend:
serviceName: whatever-service
servicePort: 80
- path: /api/not-whatever
backend:
serviceName: not-whatever-service
servicePort: 80
- path: /images/*
backend:
serviceName: not-whatever-service
servicePort: 80

From what I see in your question:
1) you are trying to use rewrite-target with gce ingress --> this wont work. rewrite-target is a nginx ingress controller feature. Btw starting from 0.22.0 version you should use nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: "/" instead of ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: "/"
2)The annotation add-base-url was removed in 0.22.0. And this is also was nginx annotation, not gce. More info here an here.
3)Also I believe you dont need rewrite-target annotation if you would like to have correct path
From my pow there should be something like this:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: whatever
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "my-static-ip-name"
spec:
tls:
- secretName: my-tls-secret
hosts:
- whatever.my-awesome-project.com
rules:
- host: whatever.my-awesome-project.com
http:
paths:
- path: /api/whatever
backend:
serviceName: whatever-service
servicePort: 80
- path: /api/not-whatever
backend:
serviceName: not-whatever-service
servicePort: 80
- path: /images/*
backend:
serviceName: not-whatever-service
servicePort: 80
A lot of things depends on what ingress and version you use. Do you have a possibility to move to nginx?
