New Workspace Loading Page

Current workspace loading page looks like this:

The progress bar that doesn’t provide any information about progress The logs provide an idea of the progress but are shown on a small part of the screen and only someone that is familiar with Che architecture can understand what’s going on (in terms of where we are in the workspace startup process)

A proposal is to:

• Replace the progress bar with a list of the “high level steps” of a workspace startup updated with their status (NOT STARTED / IN PROGRESS / COMPLETED)
• Show to detailed logs only if a user clicks on a logs tab or button

Volume mounting can also happen asynchronously in the future https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/15384.

@amisevsk thanks for providing these details. I think they will be useful when @beaumorley will work on it.

For phase 2. I would use devfile terminology “Preparing to create workspace components”. And for 3d. as well “Waiting for workspace components readiness” (“workspace server” terminology).

Something important for the design is that, the 4 steps of phase 3, are run multiple times (once for each workspace container) and in parallel (one container can be ready while another one stuck at phase a).

@amisevsk in what phase does the volume mount happen?
