Hello,
In Che 7.24, we've finished the adaptation of Webview Che-Theia Plug-in API to work in a separate sidecar environment.
For more details, see the issues [1], [2] and the Che-Theia / upstream Theia PRs [3], [4], [5], [6].
Today, more and more VS Code extensions are continuing to adopt Webview API to provide its functionality.
Previously, it wasn't possible to run such VS Code extensions in Che, since:
1/ most of them require to be running in a separate sidecar container, due to the external dependencies
2/ Webview Plug-in API was working only in the same container as Che-Theia since it's done by design in VS Code and upstream Theia
We've made a significant Che-Theia Webview Plug-in API improvement that opens the door to Che
for all of the VS Code extensions that provide Webview-based functionality.
If previously you've faced some issues with your Che-Theia Plug-in due to a not working Webview,
it's time to check it again - a Webview-related part of it should work well now.
