Observing Che-Theia editor logs helps to get a better understanding and insight over the plug-ins loaded by the editor. This section describes how to access the Che-Theia editor logs using the OpenShift CLI (command-line interface).

Prerequisites

Che is deployed in an OpenShift cluster. Verify the state of the deployment in the OpenShift logs. See Viewing the state of the Che cluster deployment using OpenShift 4 CLI tools.
A workspace is created.
User is located in a Che installation namespace.

Procedure

Obtain the list of the available Pods:

$ oc get pods

Example

$ oc get pods
NAME                                              READY  STATUS   RESTARTS  AGE
che-9-xz6g8                                 1/1    Running  1         15h
workspace0zqb2ew3py4srthh.go-cli-549cdcf69-9n4w2  4/4    Running  0         1h

Obtain the list of the available containers in the particular Pod:

$ oc get pods <name-of-pod> --output jsonpath='\{.spec.containers[*].name}'

Example:

$ oc get pods workspace0zqb2ew3py4srthh.go-cli-549cdcf69-9n4w2 -o
jsonpath='\{.spec.containers[*].name}'
> go-cli che-machine-exechr7 theia-idexzb vscode-gox3r

Get logs from the theia/ide container:

$ oc logs --follow <name-of-pod> --container <name-of-container>

Example:

$ oc logs --follow workspace0zqb2ew3py4srthh.go-cli-549cdcf69-9n4w2 -container
