Request for bootstrap from source documentation

[ericherman]

Source-based distribution creators, users of Linux From Scratch, and others interested in bootstrapping would appreciate more clear documentation on how to bootstrap an initial build of Visual Studio Code.

There is documentation how to run it locally:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build-and-run
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#packaging

Is something missing there?

[ericherman]

When I walked through the steps this morning, the install dependencies immediately failed with:

~/src/vscode$ yarn
00h00m00s 0/0: : ERROR: There are no scenarios; must have at least one.

Perhaps I missed something. I can try to look deeper, perhaps this evening.
