che/che-editor.yamlĪ couple of files need to be added in the git repository, close to the application source code: The devfileĪ devfile defines a containerized development environment: containers, volumes, commands etc.The Devfile is a CNCF Sandbox project and the full specification of the file format is here.Ī simple devfile as the following one should work for most projects. When the deployment is complete the CodeReady Workspaces URL appears in the CheCluster details page.Ĭlick on the URL to login and access the user dashboard. It will take a few minutes to deploy the CodeReady Workspaces instance. There is no need to change the default values of the CheCluster creation form. That will deploy the server-side components of CodeReady Workspaces. When the Operator is installed, the next step is to create a CheCluster instance.

Select the Technical Preview operator shown above and install it to be able to run VS Code and IntelliJ based workspaces. Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces - Technical Preview.On OperatorHub there are currently 2 CodeReady Workspaces operators: Subscribe to the Technical Preview Operator Most of the features described are still work in progress and can get broken at any time. 👉 The following instructions are not supposed to be tried in production. In this article we will provide the instructions to access the Tech Preview version of CodeReady Workspaces v2.15 and to start a VS Code or IntelliJ based workspace. There will be a separate post about that release (you can refer to these slides in the meantime). Given those considerations we are adding VS Code and IntelliJ as full supported editors starting from CodeReady Workspaces v2.16 (planned for the 29th of March). And, in this case as well, there are no real alternatives but using JetBrains Projector to run JetBrain IDEs in a container. In this case the specialization of the IDEs such as IntelliJ or P圜harm, designed to support one unique language, is the main reason for their success. And currently, the only sustainable alternative to accomodate this need is using Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS") with the Open VSX Registry.Īnother observation is that JetBrains IDEs are a popular among professional developers. Developers don't care much about the editor itself (Visual Studio Code or Eclipse Theia) but they want to run the myriad of extensions that are available out there. That has been our main issue for the last 3 years.

The number of Visual Studio Code extension that run properly in Eclipse Theia, the default IDE in CodeReady Workspaces, is limited.
