"Restart from local devfile" option resulting in http error about che

[etsauer]

Ok, I figured it out... from the error message above,

1 error occurred:
	* preStart type events are invalid: 
load-project-envs should either map to an apply command or a composite command with apply commands

and from reading about the different event types, I figured out that you can't have exec type commands listed in a preStart hook because at that point, there's no container to execute our commands in. So only apply type commands are valid in the preStart phase. I moved my command into a postStart event instead and everything works.

Here's the resulting devfile that works. https://github.com/etsauer/devhub-plugin/pull/4/files

So... could the topic for this issue move to, "how can we get the error message above to display in the IDE pop-up as well"?

@vitaliy-guliy Resolving this issue might also help debug #23045 more easily

I've tried doign a clean restart of the workspace, both using the "restart workspace" option from within the IDE, and the stop/start options from the Dashboard. The workspace restarts cleanly in both cases, but it doesn't change the "restart from local devfile" behavior

Probably duplication of #22913

@etsauer could could you share the repo or even the devfile with your changes before the restart?

Devfile is linked above. Only change I made was I added - load-project-envs at the end under events.preStart

[vitaliy-guliy]

I'm not sure we can fix it on the editor side.

I did a fork of the repository from issue description https://github.com/vitaliy-guliy/devhub-plugin
then added - load-project-envs at the end of the devfile https://github.com/vitaliy-guliy/devhub-plugin/blob/main/devfile.yaml#L63
and tried to create a workspace from https://github.com/vitaliy-guliy/devhub-plugin

So is the problem here that che doesn't support multiple preStart tasks?

Yes. I partially fixed it here che-incubator/che-code#363
But it seems it's not fully done.
