🐛 Bug Report: GET locations by entity API call does not work

[lunzmann1120]

📜 Description

The GET locations by entity API call referenced here is always returning a 404 location not found error, even when we have verified the component exists and the location exists. The exact error we get is "Found no location with type component and target default/zzz-test".
After further investigation into Backstage's code, we believe the error is coming from line 148 in DefaultLocationStore.ts. It seems it is passing the entityRefString to the parseLocationRef method when it should be passing the locationKeyValue.

👍 Expected behavior

The GET location by entity API call should return the id, type, and target of a Location based on the kind, namespace, and name of an entity.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

404 error even when the data is verified to be correct.

👟 Reproduction steps

Make an API call to the catalog using the GET location by entity call: "/locations/by-entity/{kind}/{namespace}/{name}" and see that even when the inputs are correct it only returns a 404 error.
