Chapter 12. Editing applications


You can edit the configuration and the source code of the application you create using the Topology view.

12.1. Prerequisites

12.2. Editing the source code of an application using the Developer perspective

You can use the Topology view in the Developer perspective to edit the source code of your application.

Procedure

  • In the Topology view, click the Edit Source code icon, displayed at the bottom-right of the deployed application, to access your source code and modify it.

    Note

    This feature is available only when you create applications using the From Git, From Catalog, and the From Dockerfile options.

    If the Eclipse Che Operator is installed in your cluster, a Che workspace ( odc che workspace ) is created and you are directed to the workspace to edit your source code. If it is not installed, you will be directed to the Git repository ( odc git repository ) your source code is hosted in.

12.3. Editing the application configuration using the Developer perspective

You can use the Topology view in the Developer perspective to edit the configuration of your application.

Note

Currently, only configurations of applications created by using the From Git, Container Image, From Catalog, or From Dockerfile options in the Add workflow of the Developer perspective can be edited. Configurations of applications created by using the CLI or the YAML option from the Add workflow cannot be edited.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have created an application using the From Git, Container Image, From Catalog, or From Dockerfile options in the Add workflow.

Procedure

  1. After you have created an application and it is displayed in the Topology view, right-click the application to see the edit options available.

    Note

    You cannot edit the Name field in the General section, the CI/CD pipelines, or the Create a route to the application field in the Advanced Options section.

  4. Click Save to restart the build and deploy a new image.
