Extracting the errors

2025-05-15 11:06:31 web-api error: the server doesn't have a resource type "gateway"
2025-05-15 11:06:31 web-app error: the server doesn't have a resource type "gateway"

How do I solve it?

Jess,
the first error in the log you provided (namespaces "istio-system" not found) indicates that you haven't installed Istio. Without Istio there is no resource type "gateway".

Here are the instructions to install Istio:
https://github.com/IBM/cloud-native-starter/blob/master/documentation/SetupLocalEnvironment.md#istio

Istio Version 1.5.1 is very old but with the exception of Jaeger for distributed tracing I think it should work with the current version of Istio, too

What type of Kubernetes are you testing on?

Another update: I tested the base setup (non reactive, no security) on a current version of Minikube with Istio 1.25.2 and can make it work when I undo a change in the file web-app-vuejs/src/store.js.template (line 10 api endpoint needs to be reverted back to http, there is no https setup in the base)
