che: Workspace does not open - stuck in "Loading a runtime token..."

Describe the bug

Opening a workspace doesn’t work. It is stuck in “Loading a runtime token…”.

Che version

  • latest
  • nightly
  • other: 7.3.2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to https://www.eclipse.org/che/getting-started/
  2. Click “Create free account”
  3. Select any of the pre-defined workspace templates, e.g. angular
  4. After setting up your account, try to open the workspace
  5. Loading / Opening the workspace is stuck in “Loading a runtime token…”.

Expected behavior

Workspace should open, I assume I should see some kind of code editor.

I use Firefox and I block 3rd party cookies. After allowing cookies from openshiftapps.com the workspace is now loading.

There should be some kind of error message indicating what the problem is. Just showing a progressbar forever is poor user experience.

BTW, the FAQ does not mention anything about openshiftapps.com

Closing since che.openshift.io EOL is March 1st The issue is not reproducible against workspaces.openshift.com

I had the same issue using Chrome. It would be helpful to have the FAQ updated when the requirements change. I added the following to my Settings for Cookies and Site Data in Chrome and it worked. Screen Shot 2020-03-01 at 7 09 13 PM
