* Open the projects root folder in empty workspaces.

** By default, when a workspace has no projects defined in its devfile (for example, the dashboard's built-in "Empty Workspace"), the editor opens with an empty Explorer. To automatically open the `/projects` folder instead, define the __OPEN_PROJECTS_ROOT_ON_EMPTY__ environment variable in your devfile.

<excerpt># [DevFile] When clone path is set, intermediary non existing folder is not created - State: closed - Author: batleforc - Created: 2026-06-09T16:09:56Z - Updated: 2026-07-06T16:57:46Z - Repository: eclipse-che/che - Number: `#23877` ## Labels - kind/bug - severity/P2 - team/B --- ### Describe the bug In a devfile with multiple projects, if you set the clone path to order those projects in sub dir the intermediary folder is not created. ### Che version 7.118@latest ### Steps to reproduce 1. Create a devfile like: ``` schemaVersion: 2.3.0 metadata: name: test projects: - name: back1 clonePath: back/devfile-rest sourceType: git git: remotes: origin: https://github.com/eclipse-che/che - name: back2 clonePath: back/devworkspace-rest sourceType: git git: remotes: origin: https://github.com/eclipse-che/che - name: ui1 clonePath: ui/devfile-ui sourceType: git git: remotes: origin: https://github.com/eclipse-che/che - name: ui2 clonePath: ui/devworkspace-ui sourceType: git ``` 2. Start the workspace 3. the workspace starts, but a project-clone-error exists with cannot move projects to target because the intermediary folder is never created ### Expected behavior To find the 4 project colled in there respectiv subfolder like: ``` /projects /ui /devworkspace-ui /devfile-ui /back /devfile-rest /devworkspace-rest ``` ### Runtime OpenShift, Kubernetes (vanilla) ### Screenshots _No response_ ### Installation method OperatorHub, chectl/latest ### Environment Linux ### Eclipse Che Logs ```shell ``` ### Additional context _No response_ ## Timeline - batleforc added label &quot;kind/bug&quot; - che-bot added label &quot;status/need-triage&quot; **svor** commented on 2026-06-11T16:07:01Z: &gt; `@dkwon17` do you know if `clonePath` is supported on our end? - dkwon17 mentioned - dkwon17 subscribed - svor added label &quot;severity/P2&quot; - svor removed label &quot;status/need-triage&quot; - svor added label &quot;team/B&quot; **dkwon17** commented on 2026-06-11T22:07:48Z: &gt; `@svor` although I&`#39`;ve never used this feature before, it looks like it is supported: https://github.com/devfile/devworkspace-operator/blob/ec6de180a4c1725b594b64274987a5bf684413a6/project-clone/internal/git/setup.go#L137 - svor mentioned - svor subscribed - Firewall subscribed - Referenced by PR `#1652`: fix: create parent directories for nested clonePath - Referenced in commit 437833d - dkwon17 closed - Referenced in commit 3bbd19a **batleforc** commented on 2026-07-06T16:57:46Z: &gt; Hi `@dkwon17` , i&`#39`;ve just tried the 0.42.0 of the operator, everything work fine. &gt; But, there is another small problem, on the VsCode side where the clone path is not takein into account while adding the project to the `.code-workspace` https://github.com/che-incubator/che-code/blob/main/launcher/src/code-workspace.ts#L156 &gt; &gt; Do i need to recreate the Issue or i can reopen this one ? - dkwon17 mentioned - dkwon17 subscribed</excerpt>

<title>Enhancement: When a workspace has no projects show welcome buttons in the file explorer</title>
<location>GitHub issue 19645 in eclipse-che/che (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)</location>
<excerpt>projects show welcome buttons ... ### Is your task related to a problem? Please describe. Today, If I open CheTheia with a devfile without any projects I&`#39`;ve a empty project explorer image I can&`#39`;t create new files until I open/add `/projects` as workspace folder for example so it may be hard to figure out for newcomers ### Describe the solution you&`#39`;d like If there is no project, add PROJECT_ROOT as default workspace folder ### Describe alternatives you&`#39`;ve considered N/A ### Additional context related to multi-root https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CRW-2051 ### Release Notes Text Before this update, when a workspace contained no projects, the Che-Theia editor was displaying an empty file explorer. For the user it was not obvious how to create a file or clone a repository. With this update, when a workspace contains no project, the Che-Theia editor displays *Open Folder* and *Clone Repository* buttons in the file explorer. ... &gt; `@benoitf` &gt; Hello! &gt; I see some problems related to adding `/projects` as default workspace folder. &gt; It&`#39`;s due to `/projects` is projects root, but we are going to use it as a workspace folder for the case when a devfile has empty list of projects. &gt; Taking into account that a user can face with some confusing state of projects tree. &gt; &gt; For example: &gt; - we automatically add `/projects` as workspace folder after starting a workspace from a devfile without projects &gt; - `/projects` is default directory when user goes to a terminal &gt; - a user clones a project using a terminal &gt; - the project is placed in `/projects` &gt; - `/projects` - is projects root - we track it using file watchers &gt; - the system detects that a new project appears - the systems adds it as a workspace folder to a config file &gt; &gt; As result the user can see in projects tree: &gt; projects_clone &gt; &gt; I think we could consider another way to resolve the problem related to workspaces which starts from a devfile without projects. &gt; &gt; For example, we could automatically create a folder in `projects` and add it to workspace config file. It allows to avoid conflicts at using `/projects` as projects root and as workspace folder at the same time - `/projects` - is always projects root, never - workspace folder, we use another `hello` folder (btw - I&`#39`;m not sure what&`#39`;s name we should use for it) as workspace folder. &gt; &gt; Another way which I see - we could display two buttons in the projects tree view for such use case: &gt; - Create Folder &gt; - Clone Repository &gt; &gt; VS Code has something similar if there are no projects: &gt; open_clode &gt; &gt; But I think we should: &gt; - use `Create Folder` instead of `Open Folder` - otherwise - which folder a user can open for a workspace without projects? &gt; - has own behavior for `Clone Repository` - to have an ability to add a project as workspace folder to `Che` workspace after cloning. &gt; &gt; So, I have described above 2 ways how we could handle the use case: &gt; - `hello` folder &gt; - 2 buttons &gt; &gt; Any other ideas are welcome! &gt; `@benoitf` `@azatsarynnyy` ... &gt; hello, I&`#39`;m unsure about the dummy folder just to not have a /projects as project root folder. It looks more confusing to me. &gt; &gt; About actions yes it&`#39`;s helpful as well. The idea is really to not see a blank tree explorer because today it&`#39`;s that you don&`#39`;t know what to do to see files, explorer being empty (so opening /projects was a quick workaround) &gt; &gt; About Open folder, maybe users want to still open /projects and clone there as well. Forcing to use create may be a problem as well. Also create does not imply to open it after. &gt; Probably in che the clone button should be first. &gt; ... &gt; thank you, Florent and Artem, for the feedback! &gt; &gt; About &gt; &gt; About Open folder, maybe users want to still open / projects and clone there as well. &gt; &gt; I would like to clarify the following to be…[truncated]</excerpt>

<title>fix(app): make New Session and the project picker work with no project open</title>
<location>GitHub pull request 39732 in anomalyco/opencode (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)</location>
<excerpt>no project open ... Two one-line-ish fixes that together make `opencode web` usable from a browser profile that has never opened a project. They are separate commits and can be split if you&`#39`;d rather take them individually. ... **1. Titlebar New Session does nothing (`#37606`)** ... On a fresh profile `layout.projects.list()` and every server&`#39`;s `projects.list()` are empty, so it returns before creating a draft — no draft, no navigation, and no network request, which is why it reads as a dead button rather than an error. ... The server already reports its startup directory via `/path`, so I use that as the last fallback and call `projects.open`/`touch` so the directory is remembered as the opened and last project (otherwise the next click would take the same dead path again). ... **2. Project picker shows &quot;No folders found&quot; until you type (`#37611`)** ... In `createDirectorySearch`, an empty filter is not `pathInput`, so it goes to `file.find`; anything containing `/` goes to `file.list` via `match()`. That asymmetry is the bug — `file.find` is index-backed and declines to run in a home directory or the filesystem root, which is exactly where the picker opens (`sync.data.path.home || sync.data.path.directory`). The server logs `Failed to init file picker: Can not run certain FFF features in a file system root or home directories`, and the request returns 200 with `[]`. ... Same server, only the directory differs: ... ``` /find/file?query=&amp;dirs=true&amp;limit=50&amp;directory=%2Fhome%2Fipzero -&gt; [] /find/file?query=&amp;dirs=true&amp;limit=50&amp;directory=%2Fmnt%2Fdata -&gt; [&quot;chat/...&quot;, ...] ``` ... So I list the directory when the filter is empty. `match(dir, &quot;&quot;, 50)` already handles that and routes through `file.list`. A non-empty filter still uses `file.find` unchanged. This also explains the workaround people keep finding — typing `~/x` or an absolute path switches to the working path. ... These two mask each other: with the picker broken, the titlebar button is the only way to open anything, so a fresh browser can&`#39`;t get in at all. That&`#39`;s likely why `#37606` keeps getting refiled (`#39100`, `#38411`, `#37227`). ... Note on `#37607`, which fixes the same thing: its approach is right, but the `home.tsx` hunk no longer applies to `dev` (`newSessionProject` isn&`#39`;t there in that form). Happy to close this if you&`#39`;d rather revive that one. ... - Ran the dev app (`VITE_OPENCODE_SERVER_HOST/PORT`) against a live server started in `/mnt/data/chat`, driven headlessly over CDP with an empty-`localStorage` profile. ... - Before: clicking New Session produced 0 network requests. After: 31 requests, navigates to `/new-session?draftId=...`, composer renders, and `localStorage` records the directory as opened + last project. - Before: Add Project showed &quot;No folders found&quot;. After: it lists the home directory&`#39`;s folders and `/mnt/data/chat` under Recent projects. ... - Added two tests to `directory-picker-domain.test.ts` — the empty filter lists via `file.list` and never calls `file.find`; a non-empty filter still fuzzy-finds. The first fails on unmodified `dev`. ... - `bun run test:unit` in `packages/app`: 692 ... 694 passing, no new failures. The one `i18n parity` failure reproduces on clean `dev` and is unrelated. - ... bun run typecheck`: clean. ... &gt; _The following comment was made by an LLM, it may be inaccurate:_ &gt; &gt; ## Potential Related PRs Found &gt; &gt; **1. PR `#37607`: fix(app): create fresh web sessions in server directory** &gt; - https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/37607 &gt; - **Why related**: This PR is explicitly mentioned in the current PR&`#39`;s description as addressing the same issue with an alternative approach. The current PR notes that `#37607`&`#39`;s approach is correct but no longer applies to `dev` since `newSessionProject` isn&`#39`;t in that form anymore. &gt; &gt; **2.

<excerpt># fix(app): adopt the server directory when no project is open - State: closed - Author: Luppa90 - Created: 2026-07-26T19:12:28Z - Updated: 2026-08-26T23:09:36Z - Repository: anomalyco/opencode - Number: `#38992` - +93 -15 in 3 files - Merge commit: f5575a4f1aeb142bba25dafaf05a525c9d4cabe9 - Reviewers: Hona, Brendonovich ## Labels - automated-pr-cleanup --- ### Issue for this PR Closes `#37096` ### Type of change - [x] Bug fix - [ ] New feature - [ ] Refactor / code improvement - [ ] Documentation ### What does this PR do? `opencode web` opens to an empty UI: the sidebar shows &quot;Nothing here yet&quot; even when the server has sessions in the directory it was started in, and New Session does nothing. The opened-project list is browser-local state (`createServerProjects`, backed by the persisted `projects` map in localStorage). Nothing ever seeds it, so a client that has never opened a project has an empty list, and everything downstream is keyed off that list: - `buildHomeSessionRecords` filters sessions with `directories.has(pathKey(session.directory))` where `directories` comes from `home.project.list().flatMap(directories)`. Empty list means every session is dropped, so the home page renders `home.sessions.empty`. - `newSessionProject` resolves to `selected ?? last ?? projects()[0]`, so it is `undefined`, so `canCreate()` is false and the New Session action is inert. Note the empty list is what breaks this, not the `project` row itself. The issue diagnoses it as the `project` table failing to auto-register, but that part is working as designed: `Project.resolve` returns `ID.global` with worktree `/` for any directory that is not a git repo, and sessions there legitimately carry `project_id = &quot;global&quot;`. Those sessions still come back from the server with their real `directory`, and the UI would show them fine — it just never has a directory to match them against. So this seeds the missing state instead: `createServerProjects` gets an `adopt(directory)` that opens a directory only when that server has no opened projects at all, and `createServerCtx` calls it with `sync.data.path.directory`, the directory the server was started in. A fresh client then lands on the same project the CLI would use in that directory, which restores both the session list and New Session. `adopt` is deliberately narrow so it does not fight the user: - it is a no-op once any project is open, so it never reorders or re-adds anything on later loads; - it skips directories present in `recentlyClosed`, so closing the adopted project keeps it closed; - it is scoped per server, so connecting to a second server does not disturb the first. `open` and `touch` are hoisted to consts so `adopt` can reuse them; they are otherwise unchanged. This overlaps a little with `#37607`, which makes the New Session action fall back to the server directory. That one fixes the action for a client that still has no project; this one gives the client a project, so both the list and the action work. They touch different files and do not conflict. The empty directory picker from the same report is a separate bug (`#37611` / `#37612`) and is not touched here. ### How did you verify your code works? Reproduced against a real server, in a fresh Chrome profile with empty localStorage: 1. `mkdir /tmp/webrepro &amp;&amp; cd /tmp/webrepro &amp;&amp; opencode serve --port 47320` (non-git directory, the case from the issue). 2. Created a session in it, confirming the DB state the issue describes — `project` holds only `global | / | null`, and the session has `projectID: &quot;global&quot;` with `directory: /tmp/webrepro`. 3. Ran the app with `VITE_OPENCODE_SERVER_HOST/PORT` pointed at that server and loaded it in a clean browser context. Before: sidebar shows `Projects / Add project`, body shows &quot;Nothing here yet — Create a session to get started&quot;, and localStorage has no server entry. After: sidebar shows the `webrepro` project, the session is listed under Today…[truncated]</excerpt>

Document the launcher’s folder-based condition.

The launcher checks workspace.folders after synchronizing projects, dependent projects, and starter projects. It skips projects whose directories do not exist. Therefore, a devfile can define projects and still trigger OPEN_PROJECTS_ROOT_ON_EMPTY when synchronization leaves no folders.

Update the description and note:

Suggested documentation fix
-** By default, when a workspace has no projects defined in its devfile (for example, the dashboard's built-in "Empty Workspace"), the editor opens with an empty Explorer. To automatically open the `/projects` folder instead, define the __OPEN_PROJECTS_ROOT_ON_EMPTY__ environment variable in your devfile.

Vale supports comment-based configuration in AsciiDoc files: - Turn Vale off entirely: ```adoc pass:[&lt;!-- vale off --&gt;] This text will be ignored. pass:[&lt;!-- vale on --&gt;] ``` - Turn off a specific rule: ```adoc pass:[&lt;!-- vale Style.Redundancy = NO --&gt;] This is some text ACT test pass:[&lt;!-- vale Style.Redundancy = YES --&gt;] ``` - Turn off specific match(es) within a rule: ```adoc pass:[&lt;!-- vale Style.Redundancy[&quot;ACT test&quot;,&quot;OTHER&quot;] = NO --&gt;] This is some text ACT test pass:[&lt;!-- vale Style.Redundancy[&quot;ACT test&quot;,&quot;OTHER&quot;] = YES --&gt;] ``` - Turn on or off specific styles: ```adoc pass:[&lt;!-- vale StyleName1 = YES --&gt;] pass:[&lt;!-- vale StyleName2 = NO --&gt;] ``` - Set styles (enabling them and switching off any other styles): ```adoc pass:[&lt;!-- vale style = StyleName1 --&gt;] pass:[&lt;!-- vale styles = StyleName1, StyleName2 --&gt;] ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

<excerpt>Within each type, there can be multiple supported formats—such as Markdown and AsciiDoc under `markup`. Since each format has access to the same scopes, rules are compatible across all formats within a particular type. ... ### Inline scopes ... Inline elements have their own scopes, which let a rule target the text inside a link, a code span, or an emphasized phrase: ... | Name | Description | | --- | --- | | `link` | Matches the text of all `a` tags. | | `code` | Matches all `code` and `tt` tags (code spans). | | `strong` | Matches all `strong` and `b` tags. | | `emphasis` | Matches all `em` and `i` tags. | ... {% hint style=&quot;warning&quot; %} These are siblings of `text`, not children of it: the scope is `link`, not `text.link`. Scopes are matched by containment, so a rule scoped to `text` would also match `text.link`—meaning every ordinary rule would run a second time over each link. {% endhint %} ... A rule that asks for one of these scopes is the only kind that runs against it: ... ```yaml extends: existence message: &quot;Don&`#39`;t use &`#39`;%s&`#39`; as link text.&quot; scope: link level: error tokens: - here - this - click here ... Scoping to `code` is worth noting: the text inside code spans is skipped by default (`IgnoredScopes` defaults to `tt`, `code`, and `kbd`), so a rule has to ask for it explicitly. To exclude inline text rather than target it, see `IgnoredScopes`. ... An AsciiDoc block title, for example, renders as ``—indistinguishable from body text by tag alone: ... A directive&`#39`;s name lands here too: a MyST or Quarto `:::{note}` scopes its content as `class.note`, and a QDoc `\note` does the same. ... Classes nest, so a block inside two classed elements is reachable as `text.class.outer.class.inner`—and every block inside a classed container carries its class, however many blocks that is. To ignore classed content rather than target it, see `IgnoredClasses`. ... - AsciiDoc - DITA - HTML Built-in - Markdown Built-in, including R Markdown - MDX Built-in - MyST Built-in - Org Built-in - QDoc Built-in - Quarto Built-in - reStructuredText - Typst - XML ... style=&quot;info&quot; %} ... later.

<excerpt>Disabling Vale Linting Selectively in Asciidoc # Disabling Vale Linting Selectively in Asciidoc 11 Dec 2024 by · asciidoc, vale at https://preview.rmoff.net/2024/12/11/disabling-vale-linting-selectively-in-asciidoc/ Table of Contents I’m a HUGE fan of Docs as Code in general, and specifically tools like Vale that lint your prose for adherence to style rule. One thing that had been bugging me though was how to selectively disable Vale for particular sections of a document. Usually linting issues should be addressed at root: either fix the prose, or update the style rule. Either it’s a rule, or it’s not, right? Sometimes though I’ve found a need to make a particular exception to a rule, or simply needed to skip linting for a particular file. I was struggling with how to do this in Asciidoc. Despite the documentation showing how to, I could never get it to work reliably. Now I’ve taken some time to dig into it, I think I’ve finally understood :) There are two ways to do it: 1. Use a special class in the AsciiDoc and then tell Vale to ignore any text that uses that class. 2. Pass-through configuration to Vale using HTML comments (per the docs). It turns out line breaks are crucial in getting this to work (and why I found it to work so apparently inconsistently) tl;dr: Make sure you put a line break before a Vale pass-through that re-enables linting or a particular rule, otherwise it cancels out the one that preceeded it. ## A quick recap of how Vale works 🔗 Vale compiles your document from its source markup (e.g. Asciidoc, Markdown, RST, etc) into HTML. It then parses the HTML and matches it to the rules you’ve defined. This is useful to know because it helps when troubleshooting because you can compare seemingly-identical source document content to what Vale is actually parsing. ## Our test document 🔗 I ended up creating a bare-bones document on which to test this. The source looks like this: test.adoc ``` = Test doc This line has an acronym: NAT Let&`#39`;s not lint this one: KVM But not this one: FUBAR ``` With a resulting Vale output of: ``` 3:27 suggestion &`#39`;NAT&`#39`; has no definition. Microsoft.Acronyms 5:19 suggestion &`#39`;KVM&`#39`; has no definition. Microsoft.Acronyms ``` The number before the colon is the line number, so you can use this to match up the message to the source. ## Option 1: Use a dedicated class 🔗 h/t to Aidan Reilly over on the WriteTheDocs slack group for this tip 👍 The idea here is that you create a dedicated CSS class that you add to Vale’s `IgnoredClasses` configuration, and include in your Asciidoc wherever you want Vale to skip linting. test-option1.adoc ``` = Test doc This line has an acronym: NAT [.my-vale-ignore-class] Let&`#39`;s not lint this one: KVM But not this one: FUBAR ``` Resulting HTML: ``` […] &lt;div id=&quot;content&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;paragraph&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;This line has an acronym: NAT&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;paragraph my-vale-ignore-class&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let&`#39`;s not lint this one: KVM&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;paragraph&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;But not this one: FUBAR&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; […] ``` Vale config: vale.ini ``` […] IgnoredClasses = my-vale-ignore-class […] ``` Resulting Vale output: ``` 3:27 suggestion &`#39`;NAT&`#39`; has no definition. Microsoft.Acronyms 8:15 suggestion &`#39`;FUBAR&`#39`; has no definition. Microsoft.Acronyms ``` So—pretty simple, and effective. The only issue I see with this is that you can’t granularly target different Vale rules—it’s either on, or off. ## Now the fiddly one: Pass-through config with HTML comments 🔗 The idea here is that you use Asciidoc’s inline `pass` macro to embed HTML comments (` ``` = Test doc This line has an acronym: NAT pass:[&lt;!-- vale off --&gt;] Let&`#39`;s not lint this one: KVM pass:[&lt;!-- vale on --&gt;] But not this one: FUBAR `````` 3:27 suggestion &`#39`;NAT&`#39`; has no definition. Microsoft.Acronyms 6:19 suggestion &`#39`;KVM&`#39`; has no definition. Micro…[truncated]</excerpt>

Keep the YAML key and add a scoped Vale exception.

The existing global configuration already skips code blocks. CI still reports the added env match. Disable only RedHat.TermsErrors for this literal key. Do not change the existing env keys at lines 77 and 88; they are outside this diff.
