Problem with Spring cloud gateway filters

I try use Spring Cloud Gateway Filter for my request. I tried use some variants realisation filters like below:

@Component
@Slf4j
@Order(-10000)
public class CustomFilter extends AbstractGatewayFilterFactory<CustomFilter.Config> {

    public CustomFilter() {
        super(Config.class);
        log.info("Loaded GatewayFilterFactory [Authorize]");
    }

    @Override
    public List<String> shortcutFieldOrder() {
        return Arrays.asList("enabled");
    }


    @Override
    public ShortcutType shortcutType() {
        return ShortcutType.DEFAULT;
    }

    @Override
    public GatewayFilter apply(CustomFilter.Config config) {
        log.info("Into apply");
        return (exchange, chain)->{
            log.info("Into exchange!");
            System.out.println(exchange.getRequest() + " request");

            return chain.filter(exchange);
        };
    }

    public static class Config {
        private boolean enabled;

        public Config() {}

        public boolean isEnabled() {
            return enabled;
        }

        public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
            this.enabled = enabled;
        }

    }
}

Component
@Slf4j
public class MainFilter implements GatewayFilterFactory<MainFilter.Config> {

    @Override
    public GatewayFilter apply(Config config) {
        log.info("[Apply]");
        return (exchange, chain) -> {
            log.info("[Apply: {}]", exchange);
            System.out.println("gateway filter name " + config.getName());
            return chain.filter(exchange);
        };
    }

    @Override
    public Class<Config> getConfigClass() {
        return Config.class;
    }

    @Override
    public Config newConfig() {
        return new Config("MainFilter");
    }

    public static class Config {

        public Config(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

        private String name;

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }
    }
}

My gateway.yml file below:

server:
  port: 8080

management:
  endpoint:
    gateway:
      enabled: true
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: gateway

spring:
  cloud:
    discovery:
      enabled: true
    gateway:
      discovery:
        locator:
          enabled: true
          lowerCaseServiceId: true
#      default-filters:
#        - name: MainFilter
      routes:
        - id: second_route
          uri: lb://auth-service
          predicates:
          - Path=/api/v1/**
          filters:
          - MainFilter

  application:
    loadbalancer:
      ribbon:
        enabled: false

But when i create request for service localhost:8080/auth-service/api/v1/ Filter not working. I don't see mwssahe log.info() on my console. But when i use conditions default-filter in my gateway.yml my custom filter is working. What problem for use custom filter with my route?

Most likely your filter doesn't work because the incoming request doesn't match the path predicate from your configuration

The route is configured as

    routes:
    - id: second_route
      uri: lb://auth-service
      predicates:
      - Path=/api/v1/**
      filters:
      - MainFilter

where MainFilter is applied to all requests that match the path predicate /api/v1/**. If we take a closer look at the predicate, the incoming request path should:

  1. Start with /api/v1
  2. Have anything in url after /api/v1 segment (the ** is similar to regex .* expression and will match everything)

Therefore the following request urls should be matched:

  • http://localhost:8080/api/v1/
  • http://localhost:8080/api/v1?key=value
  • http://localhost:8080/api/v1/test
  • http://localhost:8080/api/v1/test/key=value
  • etc

But when i create request for service localhost:8080/auth-service/api/v1/ Filter not working

Based on the path predicate mapping information provided above, your request should not be matched the path predicate you defined. Your request has the following path/auth-service/api/v1 while gateway is looking for path like /api/v1/.

Since no routes are matched, gateway ignores the request and allows it to go further in the pipeline where I assume your auth-service API matches the mapping and corresponding controller returns the response directly without the gateway

In speaking about default filters, they will handle all requests no matter what URL/Header/Query they have.

You should be able to find the path matcher logs using the following configuration

logging:
  level:
    org.springframework.cloud.gateway: TRACE
    reactor.netty.http.client: TRACE

Then look for logs similar to this:

  • Pattern "[/api/v1/**]" does not match against value "/auth-service/api/v1"
  • Pattern "/api/v1/**" matches against value "/api/v1/"
