Unsure if this is still necessary since it is ~3 years old. Also, vscode no long supports win7. Closing this + please let me know if this needs any further action. Apologies for the extremely late reply. |

I hope that I can save some one else an entire day of frustration that I had. Every time I tried to yarn install vscode packages to it would stall on vscode-ripgrep with no error. I went through major commits from the vs code repo and discovered the exact commit. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commits/44d410567333dfbd9da5eab6f56bb2c83c31412e where trouble started for me.
I found posts from others with my same problem setup and details.
microsoft/vscode#77717
Version 1.3.1 of vscode-ripgrep worked great but not the latetest. After investigating the code and comparing the two I discovered that the latest version was using a powershell script. The file did not seem to close after child_process.exec executed the shell script. I investigated and found this post. nodejs/node#25645
After upgrading to powershell 5.1 the package now works and I wanted to share and update so That it can save some one else this frustration.
