I last week I began to use CCS Theia, and I have had a very bad experience with it.

Last Friday I experienced a fatal crash with CCS Theia. It just completely stopped responding, and at the lower right corner of the CCS Theia window, a message appeared saying "CCS has gone offline - trying to re-connect...", while I was in the middle of an unbuilt project. Furthermore, CCS would not allow me to build my project, it would not allow me to save my work, and when I attempted to exit, it would not allow me to save my work while it was in that offline state. I have some of questions.

  1. Is that a behavior I should expect in the future?
  2. Is the operation of CCS Theia dependent on having a continuous connection with a remote data center?
  3. Is CCS Theia a program that is served to me from a data center, or is it a program that runs on my computer without any dependencies on a remote data center?
  • Hello,

    I have had a very bad experience with it.

    Sorry to hear.

    Is that a behavior I should expect in the future?

    It is not something I have experienced. If it is an issue, then we would look to address this so it does not happen in the future.

    Is the operation of CCS Theia dependent on having a continuous connection with a remote data center?

    Typically, no. There are some features in CCS Theia that do require an internet connection like Resource Explorer. But for basic functionality like building a project should not.

    Is CCS Theia a program that is served to me from a data center, or is it a program that runs on my computer without any dependencies on a remote data center?

    CCS Theia is a program that run on your local machine, with some dependencies on a remote server like the above mentioned Resource Explorer. This behavior is similar to CCS Eclipse.

    What is the exact Theia version version being used, on which host OS, and what device are you working with?

    Thanks

    I have sent your feedback to engineering. They are appreciative of your feedback.

    To clarify more on the issue, here is a quote from engineering:

    This issue is that the local PC backend server has lost connection to front end. It is still a client / server architecture, it all just runs locally on the PC
