[Ohrimenko1988]

Reproduction Steps

• Go to dashboard
• Click on "Workspaces" -> "Add Workspace"
• On the opened page select the "Eclipse Che" stack
• Click on "Add or Import Project" button
• In the opened form click on "Git" button
• Paste the "Che" git URL ("https://github.com/eclipse/che.git")
• Click on "Add" button
• Start workspace and open IDE
• Wait until "Che" project is cloned
• Pay attention to error popup

Expected behavior:
The "Che" project will be successfully cloned

Observed behavior:
Cloning of the "Che" project is failed

Attachment:

• We have a similar behavior for import from the IDE:
  
  
  
  • the _Import project_ form does not close
  
  
  • the _Project Configuration_ form is not appeared
  
  
  • there are errors in the browser console
  
  
• See the screenshot:

OS and version:
Che 6.8.0 ; Chrome 67.0 ; Fedora 25

As far as I see, Import project request failed due to 504 Error after 30 seconds

I've checked and as far as I understand this request imports project synchronously.
I think the request is failed after 30 seconds because it may be a default value for request timeout on OCP haproxy router. https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.5/install_config/configuring_routing.html
A possible solution is to do import method asynchronous.
As an alternative solution - increase timeout by adding a custom annotation to each workspace timeout, but I prefer the first way.

I can confirm your idea @sleshchenko, we will switch import process to the JSON_RPC backend
