      = Error message when manually accessing accessing plugins without associated entity YAML

      This error occurs when a user tries to access a package or plugin that does not have an associated entity YAML. Users will not encounter this error under normal usage; it only appears if they manually modify the plugin or package name in the URL. This ticket will handle this scenario more gracefully by indicating why access to a particular plugin is not allowed.

      Description of problem:

      Currently when the URL points to a plugin page that is not available, meaning no such a catalog entity for the plugin, the side drawer shows a compiler TypeError which is not expected. We should improve this behavior to show a proper user friendly message.

       

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      release 1.5 - release 1.7 - main branch

       

      How reproducible:

      Enable Extensions plugin and start your local RHDH by `yarn dev`

       

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Attach this example url to see the compiler error

      localhost:3001/extensions/plugins/rhdh/backstage-community-plugin-tech-radar

      key point: `backstage-community-plugin-tech-radar` is a package name not a plugin name, which means there's no plugin entity for such name, and there's no plugin info available for the side drawer display

       

      Actual results:

      See attached screenshot

       

      Expected results:

      User friendly error message, stating that this plugin is not available, please check your plugin's catalog entity. Or message similar to this.
