I started hitting an error about missing `chokidar` module today and came across this PR when searching. My error is:

- /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/api/node/extensionHostProcess.js
```

I'm not too familiar with the node ecosystem, but is there some missing step here that should be distributing or installing `chokidar`? Reinstalling the extension didn't help, but manually running `npm install` in `/Users/jeremy/.vscode/extensions/llvm-vs-code-extensions.lldb-dap-0.2.17` pulls down this dependency and the extension can start.
