How to enable request URI override using kubernetes ingress

[rolf-schurink]

Hi everyone, I am having challenges with configuring path routing via the kubernetes ingress setup

Here is my yml file:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: api-router2
spec:
ingressClassName: apisix
rules:
- host: myhostname
http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: microbot
port:
number: 80
path: /v1
pathType: Exact
- backend:
service:
name: microbot2
port:
number: 80
path: /v2
pathType: Exact

Applying this with kubectl apply -f creates the routes successfully, but it routes the request to the pod without rewriting the "/v1" to "/" and then fails with a 404 (as expected). Therafter when going to the apisix dashboard and manually enabling "Request Override" and URI Override = Static entering "/" my route works 100%.

I tried various ways to achieve this setup via the xml file without success. Also tried using a plugin like so:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: api-router2
annotations:
apisix.apache.org/plugins: |
proxy-rewrite:
uri: "/"
...

Please can someone point me in the right direction how to achieve the uri override for my route via ingress?

Thanks in advance!
