@oshi thank you for the discussion, are you attempting to build a browser application based on Theia? If so you may be encountering regression: unable to build browser-only application · Issue #12490 · eclipse-theia/theia · GitHub which has been fixed but will be part of the next release. In the meantime you can use version 1.36.0 of Theia depedencies.
