FirebaseAuth - Can't catch any exception (in VS Code)

[jeroen-meijer]

Steps to Reproduce

I have a new Firebase project and have active email and password login and imported the Google Services plist file.
I currently have no users in my project. When using this piece of code:
FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: "doesntmatter@gmail.com", password: "doesntmattereither")
it gives me a PlatformException saying the user doesn't exist, which is to be expected, since I have no users.
However, when wrapping a try {FirebaseAuth...either");} catch (e) {...} around it, it doesn't catch the exception, but the app halts (as if there is no try-catch block). Using try {FirebaseAuth...either");} on PlatformException catch (e) {...} or FirebaseAuth...either")..catchError((e) {...}); doesn't work either.

Note: this only happens when running the app with the VS Code debugger. Not when I run the application using flutter run.

Fixed it. Switching to the flutter beta (I was on master) fixed the issue.
My apologies.

It happens to my in stable right now. There is a stackoverflow post about it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51910753/flutter-unable-to-catch-platformexception-while-attempting-firebase-auth-with-go
