vscode crashes React Native app

[VickyKoblinski]

• VSCode Version: 1.12.2
• OS Version: Win7 SP1
• React Native Tools Version: 0.3.2 -- Edit: Tried uninstalling React Native Tools. It took a while, but still crashed with the same error below.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run android React Native project react-native run-android
2. Open vscode
3. Wait. Eventually the app will crash and the error below will be displayed in the terminal.

Steps taken to try to Reproduce:

• Ran Debug Android from vscode through React Native Tools - produced error
• Ran project without a .git directory - no crashes so far!
• Clean installed different versions of Node - produced error
• Restarting vscode - no change
• Restarting android emulator - no change
• Restarting computer - no change

Possible temporary solution (that I have not tried):

To pass in the following settings
"git.autorefresh": false, "git.autofetch": false

Possible problems:

If vscode is using a cygwin.dll to write/remove the index.lock file it may have a permissions bug, then that could be related. I experienced this bug and had a version outside the listed range.

Console:

ERROR EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'C:\Users\me\react-native\app\.git\index.lock' {"errno":-4048,"code":"EPERM","syscall":"lstat","path":"C:\\Users\\me\\react-native\\app\\.git\\index.lock"} Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'C:\Users\me\react-native\app\.git\index.lock' at Error (native)

Do you have cygwin git? We don't support it: #7998

Can you reproduce with Git for Windows?

Where does the error come up? Can you share a screenshot?
