Chokidar causes VS Code extensions crashes on VS Code Insiders v1.31

[SounD120]

Describe the bug
All VS Code extensions that are using Chokidar in their dependencies crashes on new VS Code Insiders version, that to be release approximately in February.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Chokidar version 2.0.4
• Node version 10.2.0
• OS version: macOS Mojave 10.14.2

To Reproduce

1. Install latest VS Code Insiders(1.31-insiders)
2. Install any of VS Code extensions that are using Chokidar (for example vscode-cordova)
3. Try to use any of extension functionality, that calls the extension code (accordingly to the example described above, try to debug Apache Cordova application)

Expected behavior
VS Code extensions that are using Chokidar is not crashes with new VS Code Insiders(1.31-insiders) version.

Additional context
This issue was investigated already and the problems is in fsevents package, that have some issues with Electron 3 (Node.js 10.2.0) that VS Code 1.31 is using under the hood. As described in this issue fsevents@1.2.4 have no such problems.
So it looks like Chokidar is needed to be bumped fsevents to 1.2.4 version to be able to work with new Electron and VS Code versions without any errors.

The fsevents dependency was updated in v2.1.0.

Hi, I am using v2.1.0 with fsevents 1.2.7 in my VSCode extension and this still causes the extension to crash in VSCode 1.32.3 on OSX.

See christianvoigt/argdown#104

How far away is the release of 3.0.0?

[christianvoigt]

I just checked again and there seems to be an issue with the update process in VSCode. Even though VSCode shows me I have installed the new version of my extension, the fsevents error thrown shows it is still trying to run the old version. So this is not an issue of Chokidar 2.1.0. Sorry for bothering you.
