2. Paste an unexisted URL https://github.com/olexii4/che-editor-theiahkhjkhkjhkjhjhghjhgfghfhgfhgjfghfghjfghjfhgfghfghjfhgfghfhgjfhgjfhg.
3. Press 'Create & Open'.

@olexii4: hello,
I have reproduced the error on Che dogfooding instance (Eclipse Che Next) and DevSandbox Stage with Dev Spaces 3.12.0 (Eclipse Che 7.82.x):

Therefore, reopening the issue for further investigation.

@dmytro-ndp It is not about length limitation for auto-generated names. We have a different problem now: che-server generates an invalid devfile in the case with an unexisting repo.

We should create a new issue for che-server and close this one.

@olexii4 : thanks for the answer.
Actually, I tested issue resolution using unexisted repo, because it was in "Steps to reproduce" of description of the issue:

[dmytro-ndp]

@olexii4 : The error has been reproduced on Dev Spaces 3.12.0 deployed to the DevSandbox Stage with an existing repository having a 70-character-long name: https://github.com/dmytro-ndp/70_symbols_long_repo_name_kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Note: click on "Continue with default devfile" button at the error page is leading to the same error page.

@dmytro-ndp I investigated the problem. It happened because of the changes in che-server behavior.

We can test these changes with a custom repository instead of github.com.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Create Workspace page.
2. Paste an unexisted URL https://custom.repo/olexii4/che-editor-theiahkhjkhkjhkjhjhghjhgfghfhgfhgjfghfghjfghjfhgfghfghjfhgfghfhgjfhgjfhg.
3. Press 'Create & Open'.
4. Continue with a default devfile.
