theia: Electron example never finishes loading
Bug Description:
I’m trying to run the electron example on my machine, but even from a clean clone and build it just gets stuck at a loading screen forever with no apparent errors anywhere:
Steps to Reproduce:
From Developing.md:
git clone https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia \
&& cd theia \
&& yarn \
&& yarn run rebuild:electron \
&& cd examples/electron \
&& yarn run start
Additional Information
While the electron example gets stuck, the browser example works fine. I tried the same steps but first checked out v1.1.0, and the issue still happens.
Here’s the logs from start to finish: https://pastebin.com/xU44UViN
- Operating System: Arch Linux
- Theia Version: master - bb43e9e
- Node Version: v10.20.1

Sorry for not providing more details, I kinda broke the OS install where I got the bug, so wasn’t able to go back to try it again. On a fresh install of ubuntu it worked fine, so unless @Foltik is still having issues I’d say you’re good to close the issue.
@Foltik @nklayman are you still experiencing issues?
@vince-fugnitto I was only ever able to run it on the browser. I tried removing the electron, yarn, and npm cache, deleting all app storage in dev tools, resetting workbench layout, updating my system, rebooting, but nothing. Tried it on my laptop and I’m able to successfully get it to run every time, so it has to be some weird state my system is in. Still no idea what would cause it to manifest in this way, or why it’s failing silently.
As for the project, I ran into it when I was looking for a fully open and extensible editor running web tech I could hack on and build my own customizations for easily. This project is super exciting to me in that regard, and I do hope I can get it working, write some extensions/plugins, and make contributions once I’m more familiar with its inner workings!
