[skabashnyuk]

are you able to clone the project manually from Theia?

[benoitf]

@skabashnyuk yes

Also resolver API returns

{
  "v": "4.0",
  "source": "repo",
  "devfile": {
    "metadata": {
      "generateName": "spring-petclinic"
    },
    "projects": [
      {
        "name": "spring-petclinic",
        "source": {
          "location": "https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git",
          "type": "github"
        }
      }
    ],
    "apiVersion": "1.0.0"
  }
}

but projects section is empty in my DevWorkspace

[benoitf]

And the clone is done by project-clone init container but as there is no projects section in the devfile it does nothing as well.
