Can't start Hosted Plugin instance on MacOS electron build

[vnfedotov]

Bug Description:

It seems like some strange variation of #2868 and #6846

Workspace is set to plugin folder, no errors on 'Hosted Plugin: select path' command.
'Hosted Plugin: Start Instance' generates following output:

yarn run v1.22.4

error Couldn't find a package.json file in "/"

info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

Same configuration runs fine in browser, Hosted Plugin starts without problems.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Generate Hello World example with theia-plugin-generator
2. Build plugin example with yarn
3. Run electron build of Theia
4. Run 'Hosted Plugin: Start Instance' command
5. Select plugin folder

Additional Information

• Operating System: macOS 10.14.6
• Theia Version: 1.5.0

@zhaomenghuan I believe that hosted-plugin is only available in the browser for the moment.
