Error building theia-full behind an enterprise proxy

I am trying to build theia-full behind an enterprise proxy. Despite setting up the proxy ( ENV VAR / yarn set config …/ npm config set … / and adding the proxy in the package.json), the installation fail with a DNS request :

It cannot download rigrep from GitHub. Are you sure that you configured proxy settings for Node.js properly?

Maybe https://www.jhipster.tech/configuring-a-corporate-proxy/ can be helpful.

I followed this guide and, unfortunatly, it did not change anything. How can I force it to use the proxy settings?

OH :), thank you, did not find it…

#7

probably making a PR for them, it is the best option, after that we can upgrade Theia to newer version of vscode-rigrep

Anyone has a walk-around method?
