Can this be worked around by manually opening a file and setting its type to php?

Unfortunately not, since we removed the @theia/textmate-grammers package the PHP filetype that is associated with the syntax colourization etc doesn’t get added to Theia and since we don’t have the vscode-builtin-php we technically don’t have a “real” PHP language configuration. For some reason there is a php filetype that is available but I believe it’s only coming from files extension type of BlogController.php

Does the PHP plugin depend on vscode/theia for initialization only

I think it has to be activated by vscode/theia since activation events is defined in the vscode extension

I think the problem is that when we switched to using the vscode builtins in che-theia we don’t provide a PHP language configuration: https://github.com/eclipse/che-theia/blob/master/generator/src/templates/theiaPlugins.json. Since the PHP filetype is no longer be there the PHP language features won’t activate when a PHP file is opened.

When I tested on the 7.10.0-SNAPSHOT and opened up BlogController.php the default language configuration is set to plain text (since PHP is missing) so there also won’t be syntax colourization
