Steps to reproduce

Hello, I have been following the steps from the code tab (https://github.com/snyk-tech-services/backstage-plugin-snyk) to set up the plugin but even when I follow all the steps, I encounter the issue (Error: Entity context is not available), please find the screenshot attached as well.

This is what it is displayed when I visit http://localhost:3000/snyk (the backstage is correctly configured locally). On my terminal there is no indicator about an error after running yarn dev.

You're getting this after following the setup guide in the readme? You did add a project to the catalog and added the relevant configuration point like org ID and such?

You need to have a component registered. The plugin will expect some data points to go and retrieve the data for the projects to count/display issues about, so it should look something like the annotations listed here.

The /snyk path applies on an entity, not on its own. So register a component first, with the yaml containing the relevant annotations, and things should start working from there.
