How to update Theia version, used in the image?

Question

When building eclipse/che-theia docker image https://github.com/eclipse/che/tree/master/dockerfiles/theia, how to specify a specific version of Theia to be used ?

Answer 1

You need to change the value of argument THEIA_VERSION in Dockerfile.

Beware of the CQ to be created for each Theia version upgrade.
Patches are per Theia version, so no need to remove them.
Integration tests are executed by default. Upgrading Theia may require updating integration tests.
