Initial packaging

As far as I can tell, this looks good.
I tried testing it on my 22.04 machine, but I keep getting "Timed out waiting for networking to be ready" after running snapcraft at the moment.

@jfaltermeier I assume you may be running Docker as well. There is a known issue https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/howto/network_bridge_firewalld/#prevent-connectivity-issues-with-lxd-and-docker

Thanks, I've managed to get a build now, but the result doesn’t seem to work. Are you seeing the same issue? For me, the mode of the file is 755:

~$ snap list | grep theia
theia-ide          1.52.0           x1     -                -              -

~$ which theia-ide
/snap/bin/theia-ide

~$ theia-ide
[68213:1001/114800.047645:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing, I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /snap/theia-ide/x1/opt/TheiaIDE/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap

I am not acquainted with that error. Did you install as instructed?

sudo snap install theia-ide*.snap --dangerous --classic

[jfaltermeier]

Yes, but I did get a warning:

$ sudo snap install theia-ide*.snap --dangerous --classic
Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap theia-ide

The .deb works fine.

When I changed the confinement: strict to classic in the snapcraft.yaml, it worked for me. Based on what I’ve read about the differences between strict and classic confinement, it seems like classic makes sense for an IDE, right? Since it needs access to source code files and possibly tools for compiling.

[Mailaender]

Updated this for classic confinement as it was just approved at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/classic-confinement-for-eclipse-theia-ide/42177/6
