Unable to debug React Native using VSCode

Question

Fresh init of a RN project with a fresh copy of React Native Full Pack in VSCode. I'm unable to get this new project to debug, but am able to get other projects to debug using the same methods. I've tried recreating the project and still no dice. I can use react-native run-android in a command prompt to get it to debug, but not VSCode. I keep getting this error:

events.js:167
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'c:\Users\user\Documents\repos\app\android\app\build\generated\not_namespaced_r_class_sources\debug\processDebugResources\r\android\support\asynclayoutinflater'

[Error] Error: Error while executing command 'react-native.cmd run-android --no-packager': Error while executing command 'react-native.cmd run-android --no-packager' (error code 101)

I've also tried running the packager first, but it still default to a --no-packager run.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/55715163/6052427 can you try this steps — errorau, Apr 16 '19 at 20:17
how about running it with sudo? `sudo react-native run-android` for Mac or whatever command is there for windows? — Alwaysblue, Apr 21 '19 at 07:00

Deleting and reinstall NPM packages seems to work some of the time. But a better way to fix this problem is to run gradlew.bat clean from inside the android folder of the RN directory, then rerun the packager and restart the app.

You can also clean your build cache and gradle cache.
