Impossible to use nodeSelector for Theia

Hello we are trying to to use node selector.

We use che7.18.0 deployed with chectl on kubernetes 1.15

Following the documentation to add a nodeSelector https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/installation-guide/configuring-workspaces-nodeselector/.

We have noticed that for the theia editor, the nodeSelector are not working. 
metadata:
  name: theia-nodeSelector
components:
  - referenceContent: |
      kind: List
      items:
        - apiVersion: v1
          kind: Pod
          metadata:
            name: ws
            labels:
              name: ws
          spec:
           containers:
            - name: maap-theia
              image: 'kosted/bmap-stack:0.2'
              imagePullPolicy: Always
              mountSources: true
              resources:
                limits:
                  memory: 2048Mi
              securityContext:
                privileged: true
    type: kubernetes
    volumes:
      - name: projects
        containerPath: /projects
    alias: maap-theia
    env:

@sparkoo we have to install a new cluster for the test. I will give you the result once done.

@KOSSOKO I have not met this issue. CHE_INFRA_KUBERNETES_WORKSPACE__START__TIMEOUT__MIN might be what you’re looking for. See https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/installation-guide/advanced-configuration-options-for-the-che-server-component/#LChe-server
