Code Review
This pull request adds a CLAUDE.md file, which serves as a comprehensive guide for developers working on the repository. The file is well-structured and covers project overview, setup commands, configuration, architecture, and dependencies. My review includes suggestions to improve the clarity of configuration instructions, adopt better practices for frontend configuration management to avoid hardcoding values, and a high-priority recommendation to plan a migration from Vue 2, which has reached its end of life.

| ### Key Frontend Dependencies | ||
| - Vue.js 2.6.14 |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Vue.js 2 has reached its End of Life (EOL) on December 31, 2023. Continuing to use an EOL version is a security risk as it will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes. It is strongly recommended to prioritize migrating the frontend application to Vue 3 to ensure the project's security and long-term maintainability.

| export SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URL=http://<server_ip>:8080/playlist |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The placeholder <server_ip> in the SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URL might be confusing for local development setup. It would be clearer to specify localhost for local environments and add a note that this needs to be replaced with the actual server IP for deployment. For example: export SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:8080/playlist # Use localhost for local dev, replace with server IP for deployment.

|
||
| ### Key Configuration Files | ||
| - **Backend Config:** `backend/SpotifyPlayList/src/main/resources/application.properties` | ||
| - **Frontend Config:** `frontend/spotify-playlist-ui/src/App.vue` (baseURL configuration) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hardcoding the baseURL in App.vue (as mentioned on lines 81 and 85) is not a recommended practice for maintainability. It makes configuration for different environments (development, staging, production) cumbersome and error-prone. A better approach would be to use environment variables. Vue CLI supports .env files out of the box. You could have a .env.development with VUE_APP_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8888/ and a .env.production with the production API URL. The code can then access it via process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL. This would eliminate the need for manual code changes when deploying.

Code Review
This pull request successfully refactors the Spotify recommendation API to use direct HTTP calls with RestTemplate instead of the spotify-web-api-java library, addressing compatibility issues. The changes are well-structured, introducing a dedicated SpotifyHttpClient, custom DTOs, and specific error handling. My feedback focuses on improving robustness by preventing potential information leaks in error responses, reducing code duplication, and simplifying some implementations. The most critical issue is that the unit tests for this refactored core functionality have been disabled; they must be updated and re-enabled to ensure the new implementation is reliable.
| // TODO: Update tests once we fully migrate away from spotify-web-api-java library | ||
| // The tests are currently disabled due to Java version conflicts with the old library | ||
|
|
||
| // @Test | ||
| // void testGetRecommendationWithPlayListThrowsException() { | ||
| // // Tests disabled temporarily due to Java version conflicts | ||
| // } | ||

This is a major refactoring of a core service, but the corresponding unit tests have been disabled. Shipping this without tests is very risky and leaves the new implementation via RestTemplate completely uncovered.
The tests must be updated to validate the new logic before this pull request is merged. You can use @Mock for SpotifyHttpClient and RestTemplate to test the service layer in isolation.
For example, a test could look like this:
@Test
void testGetRecommendationSuccess() {
// Arrange
GetRecommendationsDto dto = new GetRecommendationsDto(); // populate DTO
URI testUri = URI.create("http://test.com/recommendations");
SpotifyRecommendationsResponse mockResponse = new SpotifyRecommendationsResponse(); // populate mock response
when(spotifyHttpClient.buildRecommendationsUri(dto)).thenReturn(testUri);
when(spotifyHttpClient.createHttpEntityWithoutBody()).thenReturn(new HttpEntity<>(new HttpHeaders()));
when(spotifyHttpClient.getRestTemplate()).thenReturn(restTemplate);
when(restTemplate.exchange(eq(testUri), eq(HttpMethod.GET), any(), eq(SpotifyRecommendationsResponse.class)))
.thenReturn(ResponseEntity.ok(mockResponse));
// Act
SpotifyRecommendationsResponse result = recommendationsService.getRecommendation(dto);
// Assert
assertNotNull(result);
// ... more assertions

Exposing raw exception messages to the client via e.getMessage() can be a security risk, as it might reveal internal application details. It's better to log the full exception for debugging and return a generic error message to the user.

| log.error("getRecommendation error : " + e); | |

Similar to the other endpoint, exposing raw exception messages via e.getMessage() can be a security risk. A generic error message should be returned to the client, while the detailed error is logged internally.

This logging statement can cause a NullPointerException if recommendations is null. It's safer to check for null before accessing its properties. The ternary operator also adds a bit of complexity that can be avoided with a simple if/else block for clarity.

The implementation for reading the response body can be made safer and more concise by using a try-with-resources statement. This ensures the InputStream is always closed, preventing potential resource leaks. Additionally, the throws IOException in the method signature is not necessary since the exception is caught within the method.
private String getResponseBody(ClientHttpResponse response) {
try (java.io.InputStream inputStream = response.getBody()) {
if (inputStream == null) {
return "Unable to read error response (body is null)";
}
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
int nRead;
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
while ((nRead = inputStream.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
}
buffer.flush();
return new String(buffer.toByteArray(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch (IOException e) {
log.warn("Failed to read error response body: {}", e.getMessage());
return "Unable to read error response";

There is significant code duplication between buildRecommendationsUri and buildRecommendationsWithFeatureUri. The logic for adding seed parameters (artists, genres, tracks) and other common parameters like limit, market, and popularity is nearly identical.
Consider refactoring this into private helper methods to reduce duplication and improve maintainability. For example, you could have a helper for adding seed parameters and another for common parameters, which both public methods could then use.
