theia command not found when running GLSP example

[gee4vee]

I'm trying to run the workflow example (glsp-client) but I'm getting:

/bin/sh: theia: command not found

Trying to figure out what I need from Theia so I cloned that repo and built it, but still nothing. How do I get the theia binary that the examples need?

Hi @gee4vee ,
I assume you are talking about the workflow example in the glsp-examples repository?
There should be no need to manually install any Theia dependencies. Everything you need should be provided as part of the dev dependencies.
However, I quickly checked and it seems like something got messed up with our start scripts in the root package.json. I prepared a fix for thatand now everything works as expected (following the instructions of the README).
Could you maybe check if it works for you if you checkout this PR?

@tortmayr thanks for looking into it. I pulled latest from master but I get the same thing:

~/g/e/g/w/glsp-client [master]{1} ⛈️ »  yarn start                                                                                                   {09:32:05}
yarn run v1.22.17
$ yarn rebuild:browser && yarn --cwd workflow-browser-app start
$ theia rebuild:browser
/bin/sh: theia: command not found

I am having trouble building the server due to a Maven dependency issue. Is that why I don't have the theia binary?

[gee4vee]

Well I got my server build to succeed but still no theia binary.

That is strange. Could you maybe try if a yarn install executed in the repository root fixes the problem?

[gee4vee]

Looks like doing yarn build:workflow and yarn start:workflow from the repository root works for me. Thanks! My above error happens when executing within the gsp-client directory. Not sure if that's the right way of doing things.
