Cannot Debug inside VSCode: Cannot find module 'sync-request'

[peterjuras]

Goals

I want to debug my app on iOS and Android devices (not simulators) in Visual Studio Code

Expected Results

It crashes at the start with a "Cannot find module 'sync-request'" error.

Actual Results

The require('sync-request') call from this line fails. If the debug session is started without visual studio code I receive a CORS issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the vscode-react-native extension in Visual Studio Code (v1.24.1)
2. Start the packager (CMD + Shift + P -> Start Packager)
3. Start the debug launch configuration "Attach to Packager" from react-native
4. Start a remote debug session from a connected device -> The error is thrown.

Code Sample

Version of Realm and Tooling

• Realm JS SDK Version: 2.10.0
• Node or React Native: React Native 0.55.2
• Client OS & Version: macOS 10.13.5
• Which debugger for React Native: Visual Studio Code 1.24.1

Thanks for reporting. We need to investigate a bit to understand what the cause is.

It's currently not a priority. It would be wonderful if someone from the community could have a go at it. Thanks!
