After starting a workspace sometimes projects and commands aren't visible in the IDE (regression)

[SkorikSergey]

Sometimes a workspace starts not correctly. There are no project and commands visible in the IDE and after refreshing a page they appears.
List of tests that are failed because of this problem:

• ProjectStateAfterRefresh
• ProjectStateAfterWorkspaceRestart
• WorkingWithNodeWsTest
• WorkingWithJavaMySqlStackTest
• CheckExpressStackTest
• CheckCodeigniterStackTest
• CheckSwiftStackTest
• CheckLaravelStackTest
• CheckRailsStackTest
• CheckSymfonyStackTest

@amisevsk seems to be upstream for - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CHE-134

@skabashnyuk @ashumilova @slemeur @vkuznyetsov @vparfonov - I am labeling this as a blocker. This showed up for Brad at a conference. It seems that when you are in the cloud where there is more resources this issue does not happen as often as a situation where you are on a laptop with constrained resources.

TLs - we need to consider this for current sprint, or if we cannot do it that fast, next sprint.

This bug is not reproduced in revision f9511af.

@SkorikSergey Are you sure? The bug does not occur 100% of the time. I see it on maybe 10% of workspace creations.

I'm a little uncertain of closing it without a commit to reference as a fix.

@amisevsk: which version are you using? could you describe your environment?
@SkorikSergey: could you describe on which environment and how you tried to reproduce the problem?

@amisevsk: we are about to do a new release. Would be helpful if you'll try to reproduce it with this upcoming version.

[SkorikSergey]

Before release the intelligent commands this bug often occurred during tests. For now this bug is not reproduced. I will try to reproduce it in a new release.
OS and version:
Che version: 5.6.0
OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04
Docker version: 1.31.1
Che install: Docker container

@SkorikSergey @slemeur Most of the time I'm running off of the openshift-connector branch, which is based off of 5.5.0. Since the bug was always really intermittent for me, I don't have time to try reproduce it on the current master, so the issue can remain closed and I'll reopen it if it looks like it's still a problem.

I took a quick look through the commits since 5.5.0 and nothing looks like it would have affected the bug -- the issue was not in creating the project resources, just the project explorer display not showing those resources until the page was reloaded.

still reproducible on openshift-connector branch
