Troubleshooting

Integration of Jet Brains Gateway with Eclipse Che this editor provides is in the early stage. So, you may face some problems that require a manual resolution.

Problem 1: executing oc port-forward ... command reports an error:

error: error upgrading connection: pods "..." is forbidden: User "..." cannot create resource "pods/portforward" in API group "" in the namespace "..."

Solution: ask the admin to allow port forwarding for your user.

Problem 2: when typing in the editor, a popup reports an error:

No internet connection

Solution: check your terminal if the port forwarding is enabled.

Problem 3: executing oc port-forward ... command reports an error: Error from server (NotFound): pods "..." not found

Solution: check the Dashboard that your workspace is running.
