Help with generating sample theia extension

#1

Hey,

I am new to theia-ide, typescript and javascript. I am trying to get through this docs: https://theia-ide.org/docs/authoring_extensions. Finding this problem

error TS18003: No inputs were found in config file ‘/home/karthik/Projects/training/my-app/hello-world-extension/tsconfig.json’. Specified ‘include’ paths were ‘[“src”]’ and ‘exclude’ paths were ‘[“lib”]’

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You will get an option to say whether you want to create theia hello-world extension or theia widget extension
