initial generation fails #27

Closed kuniss closed 5 years ago

kuniss commented 5 years ago

I'm currently working on a extension for Xtext syntax highlighting. :-) The VS code extension works already and now thought I may try to create a Theia extension too. Unfortunately, the generator did not work for me.

Not sure what and why it fails. May be I'm doing something wrong.

Can you give me a hint, please?

I think you need to install yarn: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Btw, for a language extension the easiest is to copy an existing a super simple language extension and just rename it. For instance the https://github.com/theia-ide/theia-ruby-extension only does the configuration and spawns a language server. :-)

The yarn installation did the trick. Thanks, @svenefftinge. I will close it.

BTW, does Xtext already have a LS which could be used in cd browser-example && yarn start --hostname 0.0.0.0 path/to/xtext? Or, did I misunderstood your comment?

It doesn't have one yet. So first step would be to go for syntax and configuration, only.
