Chapter 5. Selecting a workspace IDE
The default in-browser IDE in a new workspace is Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source.
Because the OpenShift Dev Spaces build of Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source supports custom branding, your organization might be using a branded build.
You can select another supported in-browser IDE by either method:
-
When you start a new workspace by visiting a URL, you can choose an IDE for that workspace by adding the
che-editorparameter to the URL. See Section 5.1, “Selecting an in-browser IDE for one new workspace”. -
You can specify an IDE in the
.che/che-editor.yamlfile of the Git repository for all new workspaces that will feature a clone of that repository. See Section 5.2, “Selecting an in-browser IDE for all workspaces that clone the same Git repository”.

5.1. Selecting an in-browser IDE for one new workspace
You can select your preferred in-browser IDE when using a URL for starting a new workspace. This way, each developer using OpenShift Dev Spaces can start a workspace with a clone of the same project repository and the personal choice of the in-browser IDE.
Procedure
- Include the Section 2.2.2, “URL parameter for the workspace IDE” in the URL for starting a new workspace.
- Visit the URL in the browser.
Verification
- Verify that the selected in-browser IDE loads in the browser tab of the started workspace.
5.2. Selecting an in-browser IDE for all workspaces that clone the same Git repository
5.2.1. Setting up che-editor.yaml
To define the same in-browser IDE for all workspaces that will clone the same remote Git repository of your project, you can use the che-editor.yaml file.
This way, you can set a common default editor for your team and provide new contributors with the most suitable editor for your project. You can also use the che-editor.yaml file when you need to set a different IDE default for a particular project repository rather than the default IDE of your organization’s OpenShift Dev Spaces instance.
Procedure
-
In the remote Git repository of your project, create a
/.che/che-editor.yamlfile with lines that specify the relevant parameter, as described in the next section.
Verification
- Visit the URL for starting a new workspace.
- Verify that the selected in-browser IDE loads in the browser tab of the started workspace.
5.2.2. Parameters for che-editor.yaml
The simplest way to select an IDE in the che-editor.yaml is to specify the id of an IDE that is available in the table of supported in-browser IDEs in Chapter 5, Selecting a workspace IDE:
Example 5.1. id selects an IDE from the plug-in registry
id: che-incubator/che-idea/latest
As alternatives to providing the id parameter, the che-editor.yaml file supports a reference to the URL of another che-editor.yaml file or an inline definition for an IDE outside of a plug-in registry:
Example 5.2. reference points to a remote che-editor.yaml file
reference: https://<hostname_and_path_to_a_remote_file>/che-editor.yamlExample 5.3. inline specifies a complete definition for a customized IDE without a plug-in registry
inline:
schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
name: JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Community IDE
components:
- name: intellij
container:
image: 'quay.io/che-incubator/che-idea:next'
volumeMounts:
- name: projector-user
path: /home/projector-user
mountSources: true
memoryLimit: 2048M
memoryRequest: 32Mi
cpuLimit: 1500m
cpuRequest: 100m
endpoints:

discoverable: false
path: /?backgroundColor=434343&wss
targetPort: 8887
exposure: public
secure: false
protocol: https
attributes: {}
- name: projector-user
volume: {}
For more complex scenarios, the che-editor.yaml file supports the registryUrl and override parameters:
Example 5.4. registryUrl points to a custom plug-in registry rather than to the default OpenShift Dev Spaces plug-in registry
id: <editor_id> 1 registryUrl: <url_of_custom_plug-in_registry>
- 1
- The
idof the IDE in the custom plug-in registry.
Example 5.5. override of the default value of one or more defined properties of the IDE
... 1
override:
containers:
- name: che-idea
memoryLimit: 1280Mi
cpuLimit: 1510m
cpuRequest: 102m
...- 1
